NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
In the glass, Renato Ratti Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata reveals a mesmerizing garnet color.The nose is a captivating blend of red cherries, rose petals, and subtle earthy truffles, accented by wisps of exotic spices. On the palate, the wine unfolds in layers: vibrant red fruits are balanced by undertones of tobacco, leather, and anise. It features finely grained tannins that lend structure and promise aging potential, while a lively acidity keeps it fresh and dynamic. The finish is long and resonant, leaving a lingering impression of both power and elegance—a Barolo in its truest form.
