Renato Ratti · Barbera d’Asti · 2025
Named after the heroic Piedmontese regiments of the 18th century, the Battaglione is Renato Ratti’s flagship Barbera d’Asti — and one of the most reliably compelling values in all of Piedmont. Sourced from estate vineyards in the Asti hills and crafted to showcase Barbera at its most expressive, this is a wine that earns its reputation vintage after vintage: ripe, generous, and immediately seductive, yet with the structure and bright acidity that makes it endlessly food-friendly.
The 2025 opens with an intense, inviting nose of ripe red and dark fruits, wild berries, and a delicate spice thread that adds intrigue without weight. On the palate it is full-flavored and lush, with a long, persistent finish that lingers well beyond its price point. Pair with anything from a weeknight pasta to a Sunday bracíole — Barbera was made for the table, and Ratti’s Battaglione is the benchmark.
