"Discover the delicacy and freshness of the La Morra terroir in this delicious 100% Barbera from the Ratti estate!"

“The 2023 Ratti Barbera d’Asti Battaglione comes from a four-hectare plot with the red clay soils characteristic of the Asti region. This is a large production of 80,000 bottles that is part of a series dedicated to Italian soldiers in uniform. The wine opens with an inky black intensity, featuring aromas of sweet black fruits, blackberry jam, and prune juice. The tannins are chalky, and all this rich intensity makes this vintage slightly less balanced. 2024–2027” (Robert Parker, *The Wine Advocate*, 2025)
