Batasiolo Winery is one of the finest wineries in Piedmont, whose wines regularly receive awards. In 1978, the Dogliani brothers purchased the Kiola winery in La Morra. Founded in 1950, it comprises seven farms with vineyards. With the addition of this large winery and its own land, the estate now comprises nine farms and 264 hectares of vineyards. Batasiolo is the largest wine producer in the Langhe region, with an annual production of approximately 2,500,000 bottles.
With this Barolo, Batasiolo has successfully mastered the interpretation of Italian royal wine. It is made from the grapes of the Nebbiolo vine, native to Piedmont. This refined grape variety grows in the vineyards of the small community of 500 people in Serralunga d'Alba. Barolo is traditionally produced through a two-month fermentation process in large oak barrels. Due to its aromatic density and high tannin content, the wine requires a long aging process. Skin contact during maceration is limited to ten days. The wine then matures in barrel for at least 24 months, followed by bottle aging of between 6 and 12 months.
With much patience, this Batasiolo Barolo has developed into one of the region's finest wines. Full and complex, the aroma reveals nuances of black cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice, and tobacco. The palate is perfect and very smooth, with a massive, full aroma, the hallmark of a truly perfect Barolo. The velvety tannins give this wine a good bite, making this a truly world-class glass of Batasiolo Barolo.
