Note di degustazione
The 2018 Barolo Marcenasco is a soft, open-knit wine that shows the challenges of the growing season in its light-bodied structure and ethereal personality. Sweet red cherry, cedar, pipe tobacco and cinnamon are nicely lifted, but there's just not much depth on the mid-palate, which in turns makes the tannins feel aggressive.

This is a classic wine proudly made with consistency over the years by the Ratti family. The 2018 Barolo Marcenasco comes from a vineyard in La Morra that has always been farmed by this estate (but that is not an official MGA). However, it is a brand in its own right known for its especially silky tannins and delicate fiber. The wine shows close-knit aromas of small berries, candied violet and crushed stone.
La Morra. Just mid ruby. A nose bursting with minerally stony notes over a layer of cherry fruit. Hints of old leather. Pretty, polished and concentrated on the palate and with chewy tannins on the finish. Not extraordinarily complex but focused and long. (WS)
