2021 Ratti "Ochetti" Langhe Nebbiolo

91 Points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "With a soldier in a blue uniform on the front label, the Ratti 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Ochetti shows a soft and delicate personality that is in line with the fruit-forward and easy-drinking personality of this appellation. Langhe Nebbiolo wines are exploding in popularity because they offer accessibility and pair with all your favorite foods at your neighborhood eatery, like a penne al forno with cubes of guanciale. This is an ample production of 150,000 bottles.
I notice that the brand name for this estate seems to be transitioning from Renato Ratti to Ratti." (08/24/23)

91 Points from Wine Spectator: "This red exhibits pure black cherry, with blackberry, violet, iron, earth and wild herb aromas and flavors. Dense, yet remains balanced and complex through the long aftertaste. Drink now through 2028. 7,095 cases imported." (12/31/23)

From Wine Enthusiast Magazine: "This elegant and gentle Langhe Nebbiolo opens with aromas of bright and tart red berries, drying roses and crushed chalk. Sour cherries dominate the palate with hints of raspberry in the background, all framed by dried herbs, fine tannins and persistent minerality." (9/1/23)
