Viniou Reviews
The Ratti Barolo 2018 is a distinguished red wine from the renowned Piedmont region of Italy. This wine is crafted exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, known for their complexity and potential for ageing. The 2018 vintage has produced wines with remarkable balance and elegance, benefiting from a relatively warm growing season. The terroir in Barolo is characterised by calcareous clay soils, which contribute to the wine's structure and age-worthiness. Traditional vinification methods are typically employed, involving extended maceration and ageing in large oak barrels, allowing the Nebbiolo's innate qualities to shine.
Piedmont is one of Italy's most prestigious wine regions, famous for its rolling hills and picturesque landscapes. The climate in this area is continental, with hot summers and cold winters, influenced by the nearby Alps. This diversity in temperature aids in preserving the acidity in the grapes, giving the wines a lively freshness. Historically, Barolo has been known as the "Wine of Kings," with its origins dating back to the 19th century. Its rich heritage and adherence to quality have firmly established it as a benchmark for Italian wines.
Regarding food pairings, the complex and robust nature of Ratti Barolo 2018 pairs beautifully with hearty dishes. Traditional Piedmontese cuisine such as tajarin with truffle or brasato al Barolo, a wine-braised beef, would complement its tannic structure and aromatic bouquet. Additionally, it pairs well with game meats, such as roasted pheasant or venison, and matured cheeses.
For optimal enjoyment, this Barolo should be served at a temperature of 16-18°C. This allows the wine's rich flavours and aromatic nuances to fully express themselves. Decanting the wine for about an hour before serving will also help in enhancing its vibrant character, ensuring a memorable tasting experience.
