Ratti Marcenasco Barolo DOCG 2016 750ml is an iconic single-vineyard Barolo from the historic Marcenasco cru in La Morra. Renowned for its elegance and aromatic finesse, this wine showcases a more refined and expressive side of Nebbiolo, shaped by La Morra’s calcareous soils and favourable microclimate.
The exceptional 2016 vintage brings outstanding balance, purity, and longevity. Aged primarily in large Slavonian oak casks with a small portion in French barriques, Barolo Marcenasco delivers graceful structure, polished tannins, and remarkable ageing potential—an enduring symbol of Renato Ratti’s pioneering legacy in Barolo.
