Renato Ratti Serradenari, 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

2019 brings a new challenge: producing a Barolo in the highest part of La Morra, at almost 500 meters above sea level in a marvelous natural amphitheater with a view of the Piedmontese Alps. The MGA is called Serradenari, and our Cascina Sorello estate covers an area of approx. 4.5 Hectares with South/South-West exposure and vines varying in age between 20 and 40 years, on the typical land formation of La Morra. The optimal exposure to the sun and the greater altitude allow, in light of the climactic changes underway, for later grape harvesting compared to the vines of Annunziata. The wine has a greater “edge” than our other Barolos, while nonetheless maintaining the characteristics and typical traits of La Morra.

Garnet red color. Fragrance with notes of plums, violet and tobacco. Full flavored with good tannin levels and acidity. 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
