Renato Ratti 1998 Rocche Marcenasco Nebbiolo (Piedmont)
- Cellar Selection
- $60
Pietro Ratti makes wines from vineyards around the Abbey of the Annunziata, locally called the Marcenasco. This single-vineyard Rocche is deep brick red in color. With its brooding black-fruit aromas and firm, dry tannins over immense fruit flavors, it is a huge wine, showing great potential. It should keep forever.

Renato Ratti 1998 Conca Marcenasco Nebbiolo (Piedmont)
- Editors' Choice
- $62
Ratti’s Conca single-vineyard wine is made only in selected vintages. Aged in small French and large Slavonian oak barrels, the wine is full of aromas of violets and old-fashioned roses. The palate is deliciously open, with ripe fruits, flavors of dark cherries and plums. A dry, tannic layer gives it structure, the acidity gives it freshness.

Renato Ratti 2006 Marcenasco Nebbiolo (Barolo)
- $50
Dark in color with a modern style and velvety extraction, the gorgeous Marcenasco expression of Barolo is redolent of blackberries, cherries, spice, leather and tobacco. The finish is long and elegant but not without power and determination. Keep this wine cellared for ten years plus.
