December 27, 2022 - 100% Nebbiolo

blue marl soil at 240-290 m.
Manual harvest. De-stemmed and pressed.
Fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel vats.

Background: Renato Ratti bottled his first single-vineyard Barolo in 1965.
His study of Barolo's subregions eventually led to the development
of the Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva (MGA) system for Barolo,
which is roughly equivalent to the Crus in France.
Succeeded by son Pietro Ratti.
A(ccuray)=2: Med light ruby. Perfumed, tight-knit varietal.
B(alance)=3: Modulated components in harmony.
C(omplexity)=2: Berries, licorice, petals, hint of leather/tobacco.
D(epth)=1: Taut mouthfeel. Good length and finish.
