For more than 50 years, the name Ratti has been indissolubly tied to Barolo. Today, Ratti Winery in La Morra produces the classic wines of the Langhe district, fully respecting the philosophy established by the founder, Renato Ratti.

Class and spontaneous brightness are the characteristics that distinguish Nebbiolo Ochetti. An ancient wine originally hailing from the vineyards of the Roero zone (sandy hills situated on the left side of the Tanaro River) and already well known and appreciated in the cellars of the House of Savoy starting from the 1600’s, and in part also originate from some of Renato Ratti’s vineyards in the hills of the Langhe district. The style always remains faithful to its origins: elegance, a fragrance of small red fruits, smooth tannins, a great expression of Nebbiolo in a splendid version of drinkability and harmony.
