"The cantina's signature wine, the very essence of Renato Ratti's purest Nebbiolo: refined and delicious!"

“This wine is linear and elegant, with structure, length, and concentrated energy that carry you far and deep. It is medium-bodied and offers aromas of dried strawberries, citrus, and spices. The finish is tight. Classic and transparent.” (James Suckling 2024)

About the wine:

An intensely brilliant ruby-red color with garnet highlights. A very intense nose of cherry and plum compote, with hints of wild berries, combined with aromas of forest floor and eucalyptus. The palate is very well-crafted, with a refined texture and good freshness; the tannins are firm and gripping, and cherry notes linger on the long finish.

About the wine:

La Morra. Medium ruby color with orange highlights. A subtle yet concentrated nose, with a hint of oak, which becomes more complex as it rests in the glass. Notes of tart cherry and bright red fruits are accompanied by persistent, grainy tannins. A complex oak note on the finish, which complements the fruit rather than detracting from it, and is skillfully managed. 2026–2038
