Renato Ratti   Abbazia dell'Annunziata   12064 - La Morra (Cn) - Italy   Tel. +39 0173 50185   Fax +39 0173 509373 P.Iva 00609040043   info@renatoratti.com   Powered by Blulab   < Italian Version	Our vineyards They are to be found along the hills of Langhe, Roero and Monferrat regions, all carefully cultivated with the utmost respect for the territory. In 1965 Renato Ratti purchases the first small Barolo Marcenasco vineyard, in size approx. two Piedmontese "days" (ancient land measurement equal to 7,000 m2). Presently overall holdings cover 35 hectares, divided among 6 properties situated in La Morra, Mango and Costigliole d'Asti. The varieties, microclimates and soils are different, but all are cultivated with the same great love for the vine and respect for the environment. "There are three characterizing factors in the outcome of a great wine: the vine, the climate and the soil; one factor however is determinant: man. The connections between climate, soil and vine are truly complex; when by a combination of hard work and serendipity, they reach a perfect balance (one impossible to evaluate a priori) we are blessed with wines of incomparable quality."  Renato Ratti, 1971 The map of our vineyards >> MANGO Dolcetto Colombè MONTEU ROERO Nebbiolo Ochetti LA MORRA Barbera Torriglione LA MORRA Marcenasco Conca Marcenasco Rocche Marcenasco COSTIGLIOLE D'ASTI Villa Pattono
