Barbera d'Alba doc Battaglione Renato Ratti 2022

The Barbera d'Alba Battaglione by Renato Ratti, produced with grapes from the sunny vineyards of La Morra, presents itself with an intense and brilliant purple-red color. With an intense and fruity aroma, it expresses hints of plum, blackcurrant, dried fruit, vanilla, and green pepper on the nose. Endowed with good structure, on the palate, it is warm and robust, fresh and persistent. Suitable for aging, Renato Ratti's Barbera d'Alba Battaglione pairs perfectly with stuffed pasta dishes, meat-based second courses, and aged 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.
