Renato Ratti Barolo Conca 2018 (75cl)

Barolo made from Nebbiolo, here from the single Conca vineyard rather than a blend across the region. Nebbiolo is a firm, tannic grape, so the wine benefits from air before serving. It is best with rich food and suits a dinner where the host cares about the bottle. Barolo typically shows rose, red cherry, tar and dried herb, with high acidity and grippy tannins that soften with air. Decant ahead of time and serve around 16-18°C.
