Monferrato Rosso Villa Pattono doc Renato Ratti 2014

The Monferrato Rosso Villa Pattono of Azienda Agricola Ratti is a superb red wine born from the union of excellent Piedmontese wines:Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. On view it shows a brilliant ruby red colour, while at nose gets off an intense and fruity bouquet with notes of plums and ripe cherries and with a background of liquorice and spice. In mouth it is full-bodied , elegant and with a good persistence in the final. For these characteristics, it is the ideal wine in combination with agnolotti, lasagne, salami, red meat and medium seasoning cheeses

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.
