What a nose. Stunning old school Nebbiolo. Maybe my favorite of all the Italian producers we carry. Rose, mineral, leather so feral and wild. Spice and mineral. Juicy, mineral man is this mineral and lovely elegant red fruits. Sappy and so fine. Excellent value. Needs 45 minutes to breathe. — 7 years ago

Thank you Franci. 2005 intense petrol from the start on the nose developing to grappa aromas. Palate displaying smooth subtle raisin raspberry. A touch of earth. No truffle but there wants to be — 10 years ago

A great success for Ratti in this vintage which brought to back to fame big time. This is still young with its secondary aromas and flavors just starting to add complexity. Pretty impressive. — 11 years ago

(Magnum bottle)
What a hulking but at the same time incredibly graceful Barolo. Deep-rooted minerals, plums, dark chocolate, mocha and a bit of smoke, well integrated oak & smooth, sweet tannins. definitely showing the darker side of rocche in this fabolous piece of land in la morra. — 8 years ago

Such a beautifully expressive & high toned Langhe, if only other Langhe's could give back so much at a young age. — 9 years ago

The 1990 has a lovely light almost herbal nose with a fairly dark red color with minimal browning of the edges & a moderate body with good complexity & good acid & balanced tannins & lovely complex aftertaste. It will last 5-15 years in a cool cellar. — 8 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. — 12 years ago
