Renato Ratti, Barolo 2017

"This is a fine set of 2017 Barolos from Pietro Ratti. I was delighted to find the wines in what seems to be a style that shows more elegance and finesse than in the past. I often drank the Ratti Barolos when I was first getting into Piedmont, as the wines were delicious and affordable. Let’s hope that is a trend that continues, as the ability of wines to express the personality of site is one of the things that differentiates Barolo and Piedmont from so many other regions in the world."
— Antonio Galloni, October 2021
