Barbera d’Alba 2011 Renato Ratti
Barbera d’Alba 2011 by Renato Ratti stands out for its elegance and harmony, two defining characteristics that make this wine unique. Hailing from the hills of La Morra, one of the most prized regions of Barolo, this Barbera d’Alba is a warm, robust wine, but with great aging potential. Its natural acidity, combined with the elegance typical of the La Morra terroir, makes it perfect for pairing with traditional local dishes, while also having the ability to evolve over time, developing complex new nuances.
The winemaking process of Barbera d’Alba 2011 is carefully controlled: the grapes, hand-harvested in September, are destemmed and pressed before undergoing fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks. The maceration lasts about two weeks, and malolactic fermentation also takes place in steel, preserving freshness and structure. The result is a wine with an intense cardinal red color and a brilliant hue, with a pronounced aroma of ripe and dried plum, and a spicy background that recalls tradition.
On the palate, Barbera d’Alba 2011 is full and persistent, with the typical acidity of the grape variety perfectly balanced by the wine’s delicate structure and elegance. This balance makes it ideal for pairing with rustic dishes from Piedmontese cuisine, such as grilled meats or braised dishes, as well as aged cheeses and more refined meals, providing a harmonious tasting experience.
