Winemaker Notes
Noble and generous, glory of old Piedmont, a wine suitable for long aging, Barolo is theabsolute master of the table. It conquers the palate with the conviction of strength,harmony and fullness and holds its sway at length. Barolo Marcenasco has ancientorigins. There are historical documents from the "Rigestum Comunis Albe" that bearwitness to the cultivation of the Nebbiolo vine in the "Marcenascum" area already backin the 12th Century. Barolo Marcenasco is smooth, balanced, elegant and faithfullyreflects the typical characteristics of the La Morra sub zone.
Color: intense garnet red. A bouquet with traces of licorice and tobacco.Full flavored, full-bodied and elegant.
Food matches: Red meats on the spit or grilled, game, "grande cuisine" white and redmeat dishes and aged cheeses.

This fabulous Nebbiolo displays aromas of very ripe strawberry and cappuccino. Full-bodied, with supervelvety tannins and incredible concentration. All the tannins are coated with gorgeous fruit. Best after 2013.

Located halfway up the hill dominating the principal valley of Barolo, buttressed by steep slopes lined by orderly vineyards, lies a precious jewel from the 15th century: the Abbey of Annunziata.
As the monks historically produced wine from the grapes of the surrounding hillsides, today, remembering their lessons, incomparable wines are produced.
From the 100 acres of vineyards, the Renato Ratti winery produces around 150,000 bottles from the traditional denominations of the area: Barolo, Nebbiolo d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba, Dolcetto d'Alba.
The modern and innovative philosophy of vinification introduced since the 60's by Renato Ratti, is today in the hands of his son Pietro and his nephew Massimo Martinelli.
