Gorgeous nose of huckleberries, red currants, sweet bbq spice, chalky minerals, dried orange, and exotic florals. The orange and spice notes carry onto the palate with some clove, crushed red currant, and violets. The orange and mineral notes are oddly reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire. Needs lots of bottle age. Not as concentrated as the Conca that Renato Ratti produces, but still very good. — 7 years ago

A great vintage in Piedmont, and perhaps Ratti's best achievement from the Conca vineyard ever. — 9 years ago

I'm not sure if this is a different bottling than there normal DOC Barbera, but this is bottle was much better than any Ratti wine I've had in the past (including their Baroli). The perfect lunch wine. — 11 years ago

Such a beautifully expressive & high toned Langhe, if only other Langhe's could give back so much at a young age. — 8 years ago

Very funky- dark, fermented cherries and blackberries, rubber/tires, leather, hairdryer. Enjoyed this, but took awhile to warm up. Definitely recommend pairing with food, was great with beef short rib, alone it is a bit much. — 9 years ago
