Renato Ratti's Ochetti Nebbiolo from Langhe, Piedmont is an expressive, medium-bodied red wine offering notes of red cherry, raspberry, dried violet, and forest floor. This dry wine displays fine tannins and refreshing acidity that will continue to soften over the next four years. Serve it slightly below room temperature with herb-roasted pork chops as the wine's bright character complements the savory seasoning, or pair it with roasted veal breast where the wine's delicate structure matches the tender meat. Winemaker Pietro Ratti crafts this nicely styled Nebbiolo from the estate vineyard in La Morra, where clay-limestone soils create wines with the grape's characteristic elegance without the power and structure required for Barolo. The Renato Ratti estate has been a benchmark producer in Piedmont since 1965, when Renato pioneered the modern renaissance of Barolo winemaking and established the region's reputation for world-class Nebbiolo. This attractive Langhe Nebbiolo represents excellent quality and will hold up beautifully through 2030.

Nebbiolo food pairings: venison roast, baked stuffed pork chops, breast of veal roast.
