Intense, ruby red. Bouquet of ripe fruit with an undercurrent of spices. Full flavor with long persistence. It’s a classic Barbera d’Asti with balance between acidity, tannin and persistent aromas, with a good aging potential. A wine suited for important first courses and red meats.

Part of the soldier's series in which each bottle shows the antique uniforms of various fractions of the Italian military, the Renato Ratti 2020 Barbera d'Asti Battaglione is a ripe, soft and full-bodied expression that exhibits the natural sweetness of Barbera with dark berry and cherry confit. This hot-vintage wine carries its fruit weight well, adding aromatic intensity and freshness without any residual heaviness. - 91 - Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
