Renato Ratti 2021 Marcenasco Barolo DOCG Piedmont Italy
96 Points James Suckling
The Renato Ratti 2021 Marcenasco Barolo DOCG is an elegant, classic expression of Nebbiolo from La Morra in Piedmont, showcasing the balance of finesse, structure, and longevity that defines the Marcenasco vineyard. Renato Ratti has produced Marcenasco since 1965, and the estate identifies it as a signature wine reflecting the traditional character of La Morra.
The 2021 vintage delivers a beautifully focused profile of red fruit, dried strawberry, citrus, dark cherry, plum, licorice, tobacco, and savory herbs, supported by vibrant acidity and refined tannins. James Suckling highlights its precision, energy, and long, youthful finish, recommending it for drinking after 2029.
