Nebbiolo 'Ochetti' Renato Ratti 2025
The Nebbiolo "Ochetti" by Renato Ratti is an intense and full-bodied red wine, born in the prestigious cru of the Roero area, aged for about 8 months in oak barrels. It expresses hints of ripe red fruit, black cherries, humus, pepper and red flowers. The taste is full-bodied, structured, fresh, light and pleasantly tannic.
The Nebbiolo "Ochetti" is a Piedmontese enological gem that boasts a prestigious origin, with a history certainly less ancient than that of the Langhe, but with an equally exceptional microclimate. It is born from one of the most vocated wine-growing areas of Roero, where the Renato Ratti winery owns small but well-exposed plots. The typical varietal aromas of the grape emerge strongly on the first nose, followed by more evolved sensations that hint at the tertiary world, a result of the aging period spent in wood. A label that on the palate showcases a full and round drink, flowing with lightness and juiciness and demonstrating great gastronomic power, capable of accompanying different dishes, such as spit-roasted meats or dishes enhanced by rich slices of truffle.
The Nebbiolo "Ochetti" is a Roero red from the Renato Ratti winery, for too long mistakenly considered the younger brother of the Langhe variety. The harvest usually takes place between mid-September and mid-October, and the bunches, once harvested and transferred to the winery, are vinified in red in a classic manner. The must obtained from the pressing of the grapes ferments in steel containers at a controlled temperature of 30 degrees, macerating for 10 days. An aging of 8 months in oak barrels concludes the process.
The "Ochetti" Nebbiolo from Renato Ratti is a Piedmontese red that visually manifests with a beautiful bright ruby color. The nose is concentrated, where the fruit appears with greater intensity, enriched by aromas of dried flowers and sweet spices. On the palate, it is of good body, broad, with a sip that flows pleasantly thanks to a finely integrated tannic structure. A characteristic and very typical sip, which faithfully reflects the territory of the Roero area.
