A terrific, classic Barbera from the Renato Ratti, a Piedmontese winery famous for producing a wide range of outstanding world-class wines. The winery was founded in 1965 when Renato Ratti purchased a vineyard in La Morra. Renato's son, Pietro, now heads up the winery. Deep red in color with a nose of fresh fruit and spices. Aged 8 months in French oak which adds a rich, smoothness to the long finish. The labels of their Alba wines are illustrated with "tin solders" dressed in the uniforms of the Napoleonic period gleaned from the private collection of Prof. Edoardo Mosca of Bra in 1969, and show the various battalions of Alba from 1700 and 1800. Albeisa bottle.
