1995 Renato Ratti Barolo Marcenasco DOCG

品飲感：色澤深酒紅，前調有甘草、菸草與乾玫瑰的香氣，隱約伴隨成熟紅果與皮革、泥土香。口感飽滿但不厚重，單寧仍有支撐感卻細緻，酸度明亮，層次分明，餘韻悠長且帶鹹鮮調性。酒莊與產區：Marcenasco 為 La Morra 的傳統園塊，這款酒自 1965 年起即為酒莊代表作，承襲區域優雅與和諧的風格。釀造與陳年：十月手工採收，去梗輕壓；不銹鋼槽中控溫發酵，三到四週的浸皮發酵與後發酵浸漬，進行乳酸發酵於鋼槽中，再以 25 與 50 公升的大木桶陳年約兩年，並於瓶中熟成約一年才出廠。口感建議：建議醒酒約 30–60 分鐘以釋放香氣與柔化單寧。配餐建議：燒烤或烤羊、獵物風味料理、松露義大利麵及風乾或熟成硬質起司都很合適。整體語氣較為溫和且帶成熟果香與土壤感，適合搭配豐富肉類與傳統義式佳餚。

Tasting note: Deep garnet in the glass with a bouquet of licorice, tobacco, dried rose and ripe red cherry, underpinned by leather and subtle earth. On the palate it is full and elegant — generous structure, firm but refined tannins and persistent acidity that drives a long, savory finish. Producer & vineyard: Marcenasco is a historic cru in the La Morra area; the bottling has ancient roots and has been a signature of the estate since its first vintage in 1965. The wine embodies the classic balance and finesse of this zone. Winemaking & ageing: Fruit is hand‑harvested in October, destemmed and gently pressed. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in temperature‑controlled stainless steel with three to four weeks of skin contact using a submerged cap system; malolactic occurs in steel. The wine is then refined for roughly two years in large oak casks (25–50 hl) followed by about one year of bottle ageing. Drinking window: historically recommended 2001–2013; bottles from good cellars will remain rewarding but may show mature tertiary notes. Serving: decant about 45 minutes to lift aromatics and integrate savory layers. Pairs well with roasted or braised red meats, game, truffle pasta and mature cheeses.
