2017 Renato Ratti 'Battaglione' Barbera d'Alba - Alba Piemonte
The Barbera grapes grown here are perfectly suited to the sandy soils and produce a generous, full-bodied red wine with fine tannins and a firm structure which makes the wine an ideal partner for red meats, tomato-based pasta dishes, and even a freshly-made pizza. On the palate there is an intense red fruit character which is complemented by a bright streak of acidity and long, clean finish.
This single varietal Barbera wine is made by macerating the grape must with the skins for just 7 days to preserve freshness and elegance in the finished wine. When the fermentation process is complete the wine is then aged in oak barrels for around a year to mature and soft it ready for release.
