WINE DESCRIPTION

Renato Ratti Barbera d'Alba is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Renato Ratti winery in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from Barbera grapes grown in the Alba appellation, which is known for its ideal vineyard features such as the hilly terrain and the calcareous soil. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and richly flavored red with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of oak. It is a perfect match for hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Renato Ratti Barbera d'Alba has an inky ruby-purple color and a nose of blackberry, plum and blueberry compote, with notes of cloves, cedar, licorice, and a hint of tobacco.On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with juicy fruit flavors of blackberry, plum and blueberry, and a good backbone of ripe, velvety tannins, supported by juicy acidity. The finish is long and intense, with a lingering hint of sweet spices. Delicious and well balanced, this is an excellent example of a classic Barbera d'Alba.
