Ratti Description

The name “Renato Ratti” is Indissolubly tied to the evolution and ultimate success of modern Barolo. It was his idea to introduce the “Cru” concept to the Langhe district.

In 1965, I undertook my first single vineyard vinification (…) That year, while directly and personally beginning to make wine, after studying various Italian and European wine-producing areas and after meticulously crisscrossing all the Barolo zones, I began to focus on the differences, the qualitative possibilities of each subzone, the distinctive characteristics, and the possible enhancement of such characteristics when considered in their single state.

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.

RENATO RATTI BAROLO ANNUNZIATA 2015

Notes and pairing: 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
