Renato Ratti bought his first vineyard for the production of Barolo in 1965, a small plot in the historical zone of Marcenasco, right below the Abbey of L'Annunziata (Our Lady of the Annunciation) at La Morra. In the ancient (14th Century) abbey, he made his first single vineyard (cru) Marcenasco Barolo. After Renato's untimely death in 1988, son Pietro took charge of the company; he continues to produce a wide range of wines, including three single-vineyard Barolos. The vineyard of Rocche dell'Annunziata is historically considered the most important of the "Marcenasco" sub-zone, and the Barolo from here is characterized by supreme elegance and a fine bouquet of rose and licorice.
