Reviewed January 2025Assertive aromas of graphite, violets, mint and chalky minerality. A stunning, precise wine focused on elegance, with citrus flavors, a full body and lavish, velvety tannins supported by freshness. Long, youthful and savory aftertaste. Try from 2026, but best after 2030.

The 2021 Barolo Marcenasco pours a reflective brick red color and offers a good deal of complexity and clarity on the nose, opening to notes of preserved orange, anise, cranberries, redcurrants, and minty herbs. The palate is similarly focused, with a refreshing energy and spine of acidity, well-defined and coiled tannins, and a zesty feel through the finish. It is a lovely wine from Ratti with a lot of personality that can age gracefully and improve over the coming 15 or more years. I would love to cover more of their wines in the future. (AF)

The 2021 Barolo Marcenasco is gorgeous. It offers a captivating mix of La Morra finesse and structure, a pretty appealing combination in my book. Macerated cherry, leather, rose petal, incense and orange peel lend shades of exoticism throughout. This is such a gorgeous edition of the Marcenasco. (AG)
