Ochetti Nebbiolo by Renato Ratti

Renato Ratti founded his winery in 1965 and was the first to map the region of Barolo, paving the way for the commercial idea of terroir in Italy. After Renato’s death in 1988, his son Pietro carried on his father’s legacy. Ratti’s ‘Nebbiolo’ was first released in 1969 and has been sourced from the same single vineyard for more than 50 years. A warmer than average growing season with no significant weather events, and a very consistent August and September, resulting in grapes being ready to pick earlier than usual, with excellent ripeness and abundant quantity.
