The Ratti estate's Nebbiolo comes from the Roero area across the Tanaro River from their home in La Morra. It has classically subtle and elegant aromas of balsam-tinged red berries, accents of thyme-like herbs, orange peel, and a stony mineral quality. This suits its mouthfeel, which is a lifted and linear drive toward a tapered finish. This gets even better with a little air in the glass.
"Pouring a bright transparent red hue, the 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo Ochetti is attractive and expressive on the nose, with pure notes of wild strawberries, fresh flowers, dusty earth, and fresh herbs. The palate is also nicely detailed, with refreshing acidity, fine tannins, and a citrus-noted finish. A very nicely styled Langhe Nebbiolo, it should hold up well over the next 4-5 years." - Audrey Frick, JEB DUNNUCK
