Tasting Notes

This is very attractive with fragrant, spicy red-cherry and strawberry aromas, as well as a gently tarry edge and a new-leather note. Aromas of rose, exotic spice, camphor and woodland berry shape the nose. The palate has a beautifully ripe, plush and approachable, fleshy core of sweet red-fruit flavor. Focused and linear, the elegant palate offers juicy raspberry, strawberry compote and star anise alongside taut, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Drink 2021–2027.

About Renato Ratti Winery

Located halfway up the hill dominating the principal valley of Barolo, buttressed by steep slopes lined by orderly vineyards, lies a precious jewel from the 15th century: the Abbey of Annunziata.

As the monks historically produced wine from the grapes of the surrounding hillsides, today, remembering their lessons, incomparable wines are produced.

From the 100 acres of vineyards, the Renato Ratti winery produces around 150,000 bottles from the traditional denominations of the area: Barolo, Nebbiolo d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba, Dolcetto d’Alba.

The modern and innovative philosophy of vinification introduced since the 60’s by Renato Ratti, is today in the hands of his son Pietro and his nephew Massimo Martinelli.
