RENATO RATTI 2023 "BATTAGLIONE" BARBERA D'ASTI

This delicious Barbera comes from La Morra in the Barolo region, known for its fragrant, vibrant and elegant style of reds. The aromas are saturated with a vinous, violet-tinged and darkly red-fruited character (like Amarena cherry and plum). The mouthfeel shows the upfront richness of the variety, but gives way to a vibrantly juicy character, with aromatic hints of cooling herb, anise, clove and iron. It finishes with a light, mouthwatering salinity and lightly chewy, soft-grained tannins, with a hint of bitter almond. This is a pizza wine par excellence, but it's great for a variety of dishes like stuffed pastas, marinated pork roasts, or simply some semi-soft cheeses and salumi with fennel.
