Renato Ratti
Battaglione Barbera d'Asti
Located halfway up the hill dominating the principal valley of Barolo, supported by steep slopes lined by orderly vineyards, lies the 15th century Abbey of Annunziata. Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits and pepper spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry, lively spice, well balanced with savory fine tannins on a medium+ finish ending with mineral character.

Fruity and a touch sweet. Good for hot summer day.

Light body, simple aroma, sour cherry flavor, a bit bitter on its own, but sweeter and smoother when paired with a well seasoned meal. We paired it with pesto seasoned meatballs and roasted vegetables which worked well.
