Renato Ratti Barolo Rocche Dell'Annunziata 2015

James Suckling 95 points - A chewy and polished red with berry and tile character and hints of plums. Medium-to full-bodied. Chewy tannins that are polished and firm. Very pretty. One of the best ever. Better after 2021..June/2019

Decanter 90 points - This is a classic La Morra wine from a classic producer, albeit one with modernist leanings. Pietro Ratti isn’t looking for extreme extraction or power, but aims for finesse. The oak is discernible on the nose but lively aromas of cherries and violets still pierce through. It’s full-bodied, with ample weight of fruit and an underlying softness that’s fortunately balanced by its concentration of fruit. The tannins give some structure and persistence..March/2019

The vineyard of Rocche dell’Annunziata is historically considered one of the most important of the all Barolo area. It’s located at around 300 slm with a south-west exposure and the size is around 1.50 ha. The typical blue marl soil with some layers of sand gives an incredible elegance and deep and persistent bouquet of roses and licorice.

A great wine for important dishes, red meats on the spit or grilled, game, ”grande cuisine” white and red meat dishes and aged cheeses.
