Renato Ratti

Kuvaus

This wine, well known to many Piedmont fans, is - unlike many other Langhe Nebbiolos - not a downgraded Barolo, made from grapes that are not of sufficient quality to be included in a Barolo. Instead, since 1969, grapes have been grown in vineyards dedicated to creating a high-class Langhe Nebbiolo, which guarantees a very high quality. The wine is tight but at the same time generous with characteristic notes of strawberries and raspberries. Some cherry fruit flavour with clear but ripe tannins, lively acidity and fine finish with integrated fatigue and invigorating mineral tone. The grapes come from the sandy hills above the Tanaro River in Monteu Roero, more precisely in Occhetti, which already at the beginning of the 17th century was reputed to be an exceptional area for the cultivation of Nebbiolo.

The interesting story about legendary Piedmont producer Renato Ratti starts in 1965 when young Renato returns from Brazil where he worked on developing Cinzano's local wine production. Back in Piedmont, he immediately buys a vineyard belonging to the classic village of La Morra. The wine, which is named Marcenasco, becomes the firm's and the entire region's first winery named Barolo. When the enologist Massimo Martinelli starts with Renato Ratti (1969), the firm's style and quality develops significantly. They shorten barrel storage with more fruity wines as a result. The idea was also adopted by Angelo Gaja and the region during the 70s was this revolutionary norm norms were to store the Barolo wines upwards of 10 years in bottling.
