Renato Ratti Battaglione — Barbera d'Asti 2024
Named after the heroic Piedmontese regiments of the XVIII Century, the Battaglione is Renato Ratti's flagship Barbera d'Asti — and the 2024 vintage delivers everything that made this label an icon. Sourced from estate vineyards in the Asti hills, the wine is crafted to showcase Barbera at its most expressive: ripe, generous, and immediately seductive, yet with the structure and acidity to hold its own at any table. Wine Enthusiast awarded it 93 points. At this price, it is one of the most compelling values in all of Piedmont.
The nose is intense and inviting: ripe red and dark fruits, wild berries, and a delicate spice background that adds intrigue without weight. On the palate, it is full-flavored and pleasantly fruited, with lush texture and bright acidity that keeps every sip lively. The finish is long and persistent — elegant, food-friendly, and deeply satisfying.
Wine Enthusiast 93 — "Mixed berries lounge in a hammock, showing exactly why Barbera earned its reputation as comfort wine with class."
