Nebbiolo Langhe DOC 2019

Nebbiolo Langhe DOC 2019 / Batasiolo / Piedmont

Red wine from Italy

The Dogliani family's Beni di Batasiolo winery is located in the town of La Morra, southwest of the famous truffle town of Alba in Piedmont and is one of the largest wineries in the Langhe. Here, in the Langhe, wines thrive that have made this region famous all over the world. In 1978, the Dogliani acquired the historic Kiola winery, thereby securing the best locations for the Nebbiolo da Barolo. The Dogliani brothers then decided to give these various small wineries a new name, taking inspiration from the Batasiolo vineyard, where the nucleus of the historic winery is located. Thus, was born Beni di Batasiolo, the new winery surrounded by the rolling hills of the homonymous vineyard. In the old local dialect, the word "beni" means property or estate. The name Beni di Batasiolo thus contains an ancestral way of life of this area, which has its essence in the inseparable bond between the farmer and his vineyard.

The red Nebbiolo grape variety comes from the Italian region of Piedmont and produces tannin-rich, expressive wines that need a long period of aging. The name is derived from "nebbia," meaning fog, and refers to the white coating on the berries that forms when they are fully ripe. This grape variety has probably been cultivated since ancient times in the Monferrato and Langhe hills and is mentioned in writings as early as the 13th century. The Nebbiolo is one of the most demanding grape varieties in terms of soil and location. It practically only thrives on calcareous marl soil and absolutely requires steep south and south-west locations.

The Nebbiolo grapes for Beni di Batasiolo's Nebbiolo Langhe DOC are harvested by hand in the first half of October and undergo destemming and fermentation with maceration of the skins for ten days in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature with periodic pumping over. The aging of this northern Italian red wine first takes place in Slavonian oak barrels and then continues in stainless steel tanks. The process of aging and refinement comes to an end when the bottle is opened.

Barolo's little brother is a charming garnet-red wine whose colour intensifies with age. The bouquet of this Nebbiolo from Beni di Batasiolo exudes intense and delicate hints of ripe fruit, which develop into spicy notes with delicate floral nuances. On the palate it is powerful, full-bodied, pleasantly tannic, and fresh. In addition, this Piedmontese shines with an absolutely typical intensity and endurance.
