Antonio Galloni writes: "I often drank the Ratti Barolos when I was first getting into Piedmont, as the wines were delicious and affordable. It’s great to see a move away from the dark, oaky, somewhat anonymous wines of the recent past. Let’s hope that is a trend that continues, as the ability of wines to express the personality of site is one of the things that differentiates Barolo and Piedmont from so many other regions in the world."
