Renato Ratti

The Renato Ratti vineyards are located along the hills of the Langhe, Roero, and Montferrat regions in Italy. They are all carefully cultivated with the utmost respect for their terroirs. In 1965, Renato Ratti purchased his first small vineyard in Barolo Marcenasco. Through hard work, the estate now covers a total area of 35 hectares, spread across six plots located in La Morra, Mango, and Costigliole d’Asti. The grape varieties, microclimates, and soils vary, but the land is cultivated with the same love for the vines and respect for the environment.

The principles guiding Renato Ratti ’s work and decisions have been summarized in his own words: “There are three factors that characterize a great wine: the vine, the climate, and the soil. One factor, however, is decisive: man. The interplay between climate, soil, and the vineyard is truly complex; when, through a combination of hard work and fortunate circumstances, they achieve perfect balance, we are blessed with wines of incomparable quality.” In the 1990s, the Renato Ratti estate undertook expansion and restoration work on the family’s vineyard and supported ongoing research into the various grape varieties grown in different areas of the vineyard. The construction of a new winery was completed in the 2000s to provide the best conditions for winemaking and aging, thereby fulfilling the founder’s primary goal: the utmost respect for the grapes and the original vines.
