Renato Ratti Rocche dell'Annunziata, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2019

For more than 50 years, the name Ratti has been indissolubly tied to Barolo. Today, Ratti Winery in La Morra produces the classic wines of the Langhe district, fully respecting the philosophy established by the founder, Renato Ratti.

The Rocche dell’Annunziata vineyard is historically known as one of the most important of the Barolo zone. In his Barolo Chart, Renato Ratti had already underscored this by entering it in the 1st Category class. Situated at about 300 meters above sea level and with a South-East exposure, it extends over roughly 1 hectare. Rich with typical blue marl interspersed between veins of sand, the earth confers an extraordinary elegance and depth, united with fine and persistent scents of roses and licorice. A prestigious subzone engenders a Barolo that holds within suggestions of a radiant future. Warm, persistent, rich: in a word, sumptuous.

A garnet red. Delicate and persistent fragrance with trace scents of licorice, rose and violet. Full flavored, warm, with extremely elegant tannins offering long persistence. 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.

100% Nebbiolo
