BACKGROUND
Beni di Batasiolo is the largest family-owned wine producer in Italy's Piedmont region. Since 1978, the winery has grown to encompass over 320 acres of vineyards. The Dogliani family works with the land and allows nature to ensure their wines' quality comes first. Batasiolos vines prosper across nine beni or estates - in Piedmont. The estates' soil, climate and position among the hills produce a range of noble, elegant wines. Batasiolo's Barbaresco DOCG is made from Nebbiolo grapes aged 12 months in Slavonian and French oak, followed by an additional 12 months in stainless steel.
Wine Advocate

The Beni di Batasiolo 2017 Barbaresco is a simple and stripped-down expression with basic layers of dried cherry and redcurrant. From a scorching hot vintage, this wine is released a bit later than its peers. It carries itself well, showing some added concentration and ripeness but remains accessible and easy overall.
