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

"This wine is linear and racy, with structure, length, and concentrated energy that carries you far and deep. It is medium-bodied and has aromas of dried strawberry, citrus, and spice. The finish is tight. Classic and transparent." (James Suckling 2024)

About wine:

Intensely brilliant ruby red color with garnet highlights. Very intense nose of cherry and plum compote, some wild berries, combined with aromas of undergrowth and eucalyptus. The palate is very refined, with a fine texture and good freshness, the tannins are tight and grippy, and cherry is present on the long finish.

About wine:

La Morra. Medium ruby with orange highlights. Discreet but concentrated nose, with a hint of oak, which becomes more complex as it rests in the glass. Notes of tart cherry and bright red fruit are accompanied by persistent, grainy tannins. Complex oak notes on the finish, which complement rather than detract from the fruit, and are skillfully managed. 2026-2038
