Viniou Reviews
The Ratti Barolo Marcenasco 2018 is a stunning representation of the Piedmont region's commitment to quality and tradition. This wine is crafted entirely from the Nebbiolo grape, which is renowned for its capacity to produce wines of both power and finesse. The 2018 vintage in Barolo was noted for its favourable conditions, resulting in wines with impressive structure and ageing potential. The terroir of Barolo is characterized by calcareous clay soils, which contribute to the wine's elegance and complexity. The vinification method respects traditional techniques, yet it often includes modern adjustments to enhance the extraction and refinement of flavours.
The Piedmont region, located in northwestern Italy, is famous for its rolling hills and diverse microclimates. The continental climate, with its hot summers and cold winters, allows Nebbiolo grapes to slowly ripen, achieving a balance of acidity and tannins. The history of winemaking in Piedmont is rich and dates back centuries, with Barolo often regarded as the "King of Wines" due to its regal heritage and esteemed reputation.
For an exquisite meal pairing, consider veal osso buco or beef braised in Barolo to complement the wine's tannins and robust character. Traditional Piedmontese dishes like tajarin with white truffles or risotto al tartufo are excellent choices, highlighting local flavours that harmonise with the wine's earthy and floral notes.
When it comes to tasting, serve the Ratti Barolo Marcenasco 2018 at a temperature of 16-18°C. Decanting the wine for an hour or two before serving will help to open up its complex aromas and soften its robust tannins, allowing the wine to express its full potential. Savour its bouquet of ripe cherries, rose petals, and hints of tar and truffle, all hallmarks of a classic Barolo. Enjoy the experience as it evolves in the glass, revealing layers of depth and refinement.
