Ratti: The Jewel of La Morra

Moderated by Rachel Lowe

Anchored in the conviction that great wine first originates from great territory, the first maps of Barolo Crus were drawn by Renato Ratti. Guided by his father’s vision, Pietro continues to develop the finest Crus in La Morra, including his newest wine – Serradenari – grown in the highest elevation Cru in Barolo. In this tasting, Pietro discusses the viticultural challenges in the Barolo region, and showcases a selection of his Crus across vintages, demonstrating how he has shaped an unmistakable reference point for the elegance and power of La Morra.

However, as consumers increasingly explore diverse flavors, the cuisines of Latin America and Asia are becoming popular among the next generation of wine enthusiasts. This class will explore ways to integrate wine into these vibrant and diverse culinary traditions.
