Ratti 750ml Conca V19 2019

James Suckling 98 points - 

Conca is one of the oldest and most exclusive MGAs (special mention areas) of the entire Barolo zone. Already known by the Benedictine monks of the Abbey of the Most Holy Annunciation; a particular bluish land and special microclimate that – alone in the Langhe district – allows for the growth of the famous Anemone Coronarie (poppy anemone) with its unmistakable reddish purple color. The Conca vineyard is quite small in extension, approx. 7000 m2 and is situated below the Annunziata cellar. It is our most structured Barolo, and this is why that starting from Vintage 2019, it will become a “Riserva” with longer wood aging and refinement.

Garnet red. Delicate and persistent fragrance with typically “balsamic” notes of licorice and mint. Full-flavored, warm and pleasantly tannic. A great wine for important dishes, red meats roasted on a spit or grilled, game, dishes of gourmet white and red meats and ripe cheeses.
