Renato Ratti Barolo Rocche 2008

Dried roses, crushed stone, dark cherry and a trace of iron spice. The 2008 Rocche is built around finesse rather than power, finely drawn tannins, bright acidity, and a silky texture that keeps the whole thing graceful and composed. Complexity arrives gradually, with floral and mineral notes threading through the fruit rather than announcing themselves upfront. A Barolo that rewards patience. Drink 2018–2028.
