"Intense, ruby red. Bouquet of ripe fruit with an undercurrent of spices. Full flavor with long persistence." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Part of the soldier's series in which each bottle shows the antique uniforms of various fractions of the Italian military, the Renato Ratti 2020 Barbera d'Asti Battaglione is a ripe, soft and full-bodied expression that exhibits the natural sweetness of Barbera with dark berry and cherry confit. This hot-vintage wine carries its fruit weight well, adding aromatic intensity and freshness without any residual heaviness." —Wine Advocate "This smooth red is marked by bright cherry, blackberry and spice notes that show a hint of chocolate. Balanced, with a nice edge of acidity and bitter almond on the finish. Drink now through 2025. 3,858 cases imported." —Wine Spectator |
