Renato Ratti Doc Langhe Nebbiolo

Wild strawberry, fresh flowers, dusty earth, and dried herbs, then ripe Marasca cherry and blood orange. Bright translucent red, refreshing acidity, fine polished tannins, and a citrus-tinged finish.

Classic matches for a red like this: Grilled and roasted meats, hearty pastas, aged cheeses.

Fruit grows on sandy soil and is handpicked in October, destemmed, and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel with roughly ten days of skin contact. Malolactic happens in steel to keep the fruit bright. Drinks well over the next four to five years.
