Producer Information: Renato Ratti
Renato Ratti, based in the heart of Piedmont’s La Morra village, was founded in 1965 by Renato Ratti after his return from winemaking studies in Brazil. He pioneered single-vineyard Barolo production at a time when blending across sites was the norm, emphasizing the unique terroir of each cru within the Langhe hills. The estate’s philosophy centers on precision and elegance, favoring shorter macerations and careful oak aging to highlight Nebbiolo’s aromatic complexity rather than sheer power. Beyond their celebrated Barolos from Marcenasco and Rocche dell’Annunziata vineyards, Renato Ratti crafts expressive Barbera d’Asti and Dolcetto d’Alba that reflect Monferrato and Alba’s distinct microclimates. Their portfolio also includes Arneis from Roero, showcasing a commitment to Piedmontese varietals across DOCG zones while maintaining a focus on site-driven expression throughout their range.

Floral, berry and white pepper aromas introduce this elegant red, with flavors of cherry, orange peel, grass and mineral in harmony with the sleek profile. Firms up on the finish, yet remains juicy, giving a lasting impression of sweet fruit. Best from 2022 through 2038.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Pietro Ratti and his family have created a truly beautiful expression from the Conca cru in La Morra. The 2015 Barolo Conca is more austere and closed initially compared to many of its peers from nearby vineyard sites. But you still get a sense of the profound depth and power of this warm vintage. This wine has the textural richness and fiber that is typical of this vintage with a more structured and sophisticated inner personality.

Aromas of rose, exotic spice, camphor and woodland berry shape the nose. Focused and linear, the elegant palate offers juicy raspberry, strawberry compote and star anise alongside taut, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Drink 2021–2027.

James Suckling
This is very attractive with fragrant, spicy red-cherry and strawberry aromas, as well as a gently tarry edge and a new-leather note. The palate has a beautifully ripe, plush and approachable, fleshy core of sweet red-fruit flavor. Supple finish.

Known for its full-bodied character and complex flavor profile, Barolo typically exhibits notes of cherry, rose, tar, leather, truffle, and anise. This wine is celebrated for its high acidity and tannic structure, making it a remarkable choice for aging.
The winemaking process for Barolo involves extended maceration and aging in large oak barrels (botti), with many wines aged for a minimum of 38 months before release. Its aromatic profile features floral notes like rose petals alongside earthy elements such as tar and forest floor. Ideal food pairings include braised meats, rich pasta dishes like ragù, truffles, and aged cheeses. Often reserved for special occasions or fine dining experiences, Barolo holds DOCG status (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) that underscores its quality and heritage.
