In 1965, Renato Ratti bought his first vineyard for the production of Barolo, in the historical zone of Marcenasco, right below the Abbey of L’Annunziata at La Morra. In 1969, his nephew, Massimo Martinelli, joined the company and together, they perfected a technique of vinification, maturation and refinement for their Marcenasco Barolo, with the declared aim of obtaining the elegance, subtlety and longevity worthy of the variety's full potential. Since then, Renato Ratti has become an important point of reference for Langhe wines and Italian wines in general.

Praelum: “One of the original Barolo Boys, his creation of single vineyard site bottlings created waves in Piedmont which defied tradition, bringing with them stainless steel, pumping and plunging techniques and French barriques. Rocche dell’Annunziata and Conca from La Morra are the controversial vineyards that bring to attention the new techniques of Ratti.”
