Barolo DOCG 2019

Barolo DOCG 2019 / Batasiolo / Piedmont

Red wine from Italy

Probably the most famous wine in Italy is also known as the "Wine of Kings". But you don't have to be a monarchist to love the Barolo. Dictators and Republicans will also enjoy this drop.

The estates of the Beni di Batasiolo winery are all located in the famous Barolo growing area, which is about 15 km southwest of the equally famous truffle town of Alba. The Pogliani brothers have secured a few of the best locations here and are currently among the most renowned winemakers in the region.

The manual harvest of the Nebbiolo grapes takes place in the first half of October. Fermentation with maceration of the skins takes place in steel tanks and lasts at least ten to twelve days. This process is accompanied by constant pumping at a controlled temperature. The refinement and aging begin in Slavonian oak barrels and continues in steel tanks. This refinement comes to an end when you open the bottle.

After decanting, you can see a bouquet that contains all the typical aromas of the Nebbiolo grapes. Aromas of dried fruits, flowers, sweet fruits, and delicate nuances of herbs reach the nose. On the palate, the garnet red Barolo from Beni di Batasiolo offers a perfect balance between tannins, freshness, and alcohol content. This red wine is powerful, but still absolutely elegant and gives pleasant sensations. Its finale is intense and very, very long. An excellent wine.

This Barolo is perfect in combination with dishes made from red meat, game, roast and with tasty and aged cheeses. In the philosophy of the Batasiolo house, this Barolo has all the prerequisites to be considered not only as a wine for special occasions, but also as a pleasant addition to good cuisine and intense social moments. Last but not least, the Barolo has always been a beautiful meditation wine. Perhaps Camillo Benso Count of Cavour also enjoyed a Barolo when he was thinking about the Italian unification.

Grape variety

NEBBIOLO

The red grape Nebbiolo comes from the Italian region of Piedmont and delivers tannic, expressive wines that need to mature long. The name is derived from "nebbia" which means fog and points to the white coating on the berries, which forms when fully ripe. This vine was probably grown since ancient times in the hills of Monferrato and the Langhe and is already mentioned in writings of the 13th century. The Nebbiolo is one of the most demanding grape varieties, concerning the floor and location. It grows almost exclusively on calcareous marl and absolutely requires steep south and southwest positions.
