Intense, Cardinal red with sparkling tonalities on the 2018 Renato Ratti Barbera d’Asti. Resolute bouquet, with trace scents of ripe plum and an undercurrent of mixed spices. Full flavor with long persistence. Rich in body and in color, warm and robust, pleasantly tart when young, a wine suited to our hearty local dishes as well as refined meat dishes and aged cheeses.
