Cantina Ratti - Via Annunziata, 7, 12064 La Morra CN
Let's start with the historical soldier's label. Designed by Renato Ratti, it recalls the exploits of 18th century Piedmontese regiments. As for the wine, this Langhe DOC Ochetti, 100% Nebbiolo, its main characteristics are undoubtedly class and spontaneous vivacity. An ancient wine, it comes from vineyards in the Roero area, where the plants take root in sandy soils, on the left bank of the Tanaro river, and - in part - from some estate vineyards in the Langhe hills. A great expression of Nebbiolo that comes from the careful processing of grapes harvested by hand in October. In the cellar, the grapes are destemmed and crushed, and then the alcoholic fermentation phase begins in thermo-controlled steel tanks. The delicate contact with the skins lasts about ten days and malolactic fermentation takes place in steel. Not very intense ruby red in colour, the aroma is fine, delicate and persistent, with hints of wild strawberries and raspberries. In the mouth it is pleasantly bitterish, velvety, light and full at the same time. Perfect with spit-roasted and grilled red meats, game, fondue with truffles, agnolotti, white and red meat dishes from the great cuisine with spicy sauces.
Renato Ratti's name is inextricably linked to the evolution and affirmation of modern Barolo. It was his idea to introduce the concept of Cru in the Langhe'. With these words one is greeted on the website of the beautiful winery in La Morra, one of the best known and best loved in the Langhe. The company was founded in 1965, when Renato bought the first vineyard for the production of Barolo. It is a small vineyard in the historic area of Marcenasco, below the Abbey of the Annunziata at La Morra. In 1969 his nephew Massimo Martinelli, also an oenologist, joined the company, with whom he perfected the technique of vinification, maturation and refinement of Barolo Marcenasco, to obtain elegance, finesse and longevity. The method developed by Ratti is completely innovative for the area. And thanks to his commitment, Renato Ratti became an important reference point for Langhe wine, leading him to the position of President of the Barolo Consortium and later Director of the Asti Consortium. Today, Cantina Ratti's vineyards extend over about 50 hectares, divided into 6 estates located in La Morra, Mango and Costigliole d'Asti and Dogliani. The distance between the different plots determines the presence of very different grape varieties, microclimates and soils. It is no coincidence that the winery produces all the classic Langa wines in the modern facility in La Morra.
