Ratti - Battaglione Barbera d'Asti 2021 (750ml)
Rated 96/100 The Somm Journal
Ratti likened Barbera to Chardonnay insofar as it can be crafted in diverse styles. As a vine, it loves heat, he said, and so has benefited from climate change. But it requires perfect timing to harvest-just a couple of days' delay will result in a wine that is overly jammy. "It's about the fruit, the fruit, the fruit, he emphasized to me. Indeed, this wine shows beautiful black fruit on the nose, with hints of ripe cherry. Deeply colored with a tinge of blue, it's round yet crisp and quenching, with bright, savory fruit.
