Sauvignon I Cedri Renato Ratti 2021

The Sauvignon I Cedri by Renato Ratti is a very elegant white wine, named after the ancient cedar trees of Lebanon in the park of Villa Pattono, an old country villa in Costigliole d'Asti. It stands out for its beautiful straw-yellow color with greenish reflections and its intense and delicate aroma, with notes of white peach, elderflower, and green tomato leaves. On the palate, it is harmonious and balanced, with intense flavors, good body, and minerality. Suitable for aging, Renato Ratti's Sauvignon I Cedri pairs perfectly with appetizers, delicate first courses, soups, and white meats.

Renato Ratti’s caves are founded in 1965, when Renato decided to transfer the wine’s production, already begun in Alba, to La Morra in a building called the Annunziata. Since 1970 Renato Ratti became a datum point for the Langhe’s wine, and then he wrote lots of books about the composition and the history of his vineyards. After the death of Renato in 1998, the cave passed to his son Pietro, who amplifies his territories and modernize the winery. The building of the New Annunziata began in 2002, and even now it safeguards the wines’ production, always by respecting the tradition.
