Renato Ratti

The Renato Ratti vineyards are located along the hills of the Langhe, Roero, and Montferrat regions of Italy. They are all carefully cultivated with the utmost respect for the terroir. 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 over six plots located in La Morra, Mango, and Costigliole d'Asti. The grape varieties, microclimates, and soils are different, but the land is cultivated with the same love for the vines and respect for the environment.

The principles that guide Renato Ratti's work and choices have been summarized in his own words: "There are three factors that characterize a great wine: the vine, the climate, and the soil. However, one factor is decisive: man. The connections between climate, soil, and vines are truly complex; when, through a combination of hard work and good fortune, they achieve perfect balance, we are blessed with wines of incomparable quality." In the 1990s, the Renato Ratti estate undertook work to expand and restore the family vineyard and promoted ongoing research into the various grape varieties produced in different areas of the vineyard. The construction of a new cellar was completed in the 2000s, providing the best conditions for vinification and aging of the wines and thus fulfilling the founder's essential objective: the utmost respect for the grapes and vines of origin.
