The hills of Piacenza have been home to vines since ancient times: there are numerous testimonies documenting the presence of cultivation and wine production as far back as two thousand years ago. The long winemaking tradition of our land has been refined and perfected over the centuries.
Tenuta La Ratta offers many of the main DOC wines of the Colli Piacentini: Gutturnio, Gutturnio Superiore, Bonarda, Barbera, Malvasia, Monterosso Val D’Arda and Ortrugo.
We also produce a classic method (Negrer-see dedicated section), a still wine made from a blend of red grapes (N6) and a still white wine (Ginevra) named after Massimo and Carolina’s daughter.
In our vineyard, nestling in the hills of the Val D’Arda, we have started to reduce the quantities produced, using short pruning and the practice of thinning followed by harvesting done strictly by hand. These particular production techniques are ideally followed in the cellar, where we practise innovative techniques aimed at enhancing the varietal characteristics of the grapes and bringing out their aromas and flavours.
