Renato Ratti Nebbiolo 750ml

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Renato Ratti Nebbiolo 750ml is like stepping into a sun-dappled orchard in Piedmont, where wild cherries and violets mingle with a whisper of earthy spice. Crafted in Italy, this wine’s 14.00% ABV brings structure and depth without overwhelming the palate, letting the grape’s signature notes of rose petal, dried herbs, and subtle tar shine through. Its elegant tannins and vibrant acidity make it an inspired companion for lamb or a decadent truffle risotto, elevating each bite with its lingering finish and aromatic complexity.

Producer Information: Renato Ratti

Renato Ratti, based in the heart of Piedmont’s La Morra village, was founded in 1965 by Renato Ratti after his return from winemaking studies in Brazil. He pioneered single-vineyard Barolo production at a time when blending across sites was the norm, emphasizing the unique terroir of each cru within the Langhe hills. The estate’s philosophy centers on precision and elegance, favoring shorter macerations and careful oak aging to highlight Nebbiolo’s aromatic complexity rather than sheer power. Beyond their celebrated Barolos from Marcenasco and Rocche dell’Annunziata vineyards, Renato Ratti crafts expressive Barbera d’Asti and Dolcetto d’Alba that reflect Monferrato and Alba’s distinct microclimates. Their portfolio also includes Arneis from Roero, showcasing a commitment to Piedmontese varietals across DOCG zones while maintaining a focus on site-driven expression throughout their range.
