Renato Ratti - Barolo Conca 2019 (750ml) Western Australia

Renato Ratti - Barolo Conca 2019 (750ml) Western AustraliaConca 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

delicate and balanced in tannins

Vineyard exposure: south

strawberry and cranberry fruit flavors interwoven with layers of spice

earthy and serious with juicy red and black fruit dancing on the palate

long-lingering perfume

and hints of incense

they are softer

It may show some cloudiness or sediment

but even after eighty-two years it hasn't been duplicated by others

The finesse and finish is endless

dried mulberries

That leathery spice is evident but well integrated on the palate
