Viniou Reviews
The Ratti Barolo "Cuvée Marcenasco" 2018 is a remarkable Italian red wine, rooted in the prestigious Piedmont region. This Barolo is crafted exclusively from the Nebbiolo grape, renowned for producing wines of great complexity and ageing potential. The 2018 vintage brought with it a favourable growing season, marked by a balanced climate that allowed the Nebbiolo grapes to achieve optimal maturity. The terroir of Barolo, characterised by its calcareous clay soils, imparts a unique mineral quality to the wine. Vinification typically involves extended maceration and aging in oak, which enhances the wine’s structure and depth.
Piedmont, located in north-western Italy, is a wine region celebrated for its excellence. Nestled among rolling hills and steep vineyards, it benefits from a continental climate with hot summers and foggy autumns, which are particularly advantageous for Nebbiolo as the fog aids in slowing down the ripening process. The region's historical commitment to winemaking, dating back centuries, is reflected in its high-quality production and distinct styles, with Barolo often referred to as the "King of Wines."
When pairing the Ratti Barolo with food, consider dishes that match its robust character. The wine’s tannic structure and rich flavours pair beautifully with red meat dishes such as a classic roast beef or braised lamb shank. Piedmontese specialities like risotto al Barolo or tajarin pasta with truffle can wonderfully complement the elegance and aromatic complexity of the wine.
For the optimal tasting experience, serve this Barolo at a temperature of 16-18°C. It is advisable to decant the wine for at least an hour before serving to allow its intricate aromas and flavours to unfurl. Enjoy the lingering finish and the symphony of flavours that reflect the wine's noble lineage and the storied terroir of Barolo.
