The Renato Ratti estate produces both a Barbera d’Asti and a Barbera d’Alba wine which showcase two very different sides to this charming grape variety. Their Barbera d’Alba offers a rich, generous style with plenty of ripe red fruit, while this Barbera d’Asti reveals the elegance and finesse which the Barbera grape can attain when handled with a light touch. The nose is refined with hints of red cherries, sweet spice, and dried herbs, while the first sip reveals a bright acidity, well-rounded texture, and intense wild berry flavours.
The Ratti family have been producing this particular wine since 1969, shortly after Renato Ratti returned from Brazil where he was producing wine for Cinzano to pursue his dreams of making his own wines. Renato began his project with a small vineyard close to the Abbey of L’Annunziata in the top Barolo cru of La Morra and quickly developed a reputation as a pioneer thanks to his work mapping the historical crus of Barolo and his production of one of the first single vineyard Barolos. in more recent years Renato’s work has been continued by his son, Pietro, who seeks to modernise and innovate while staying true to the region’s traditions.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
