Background

Beni di Batasiolo is one of the most predominant family-owned wine producer in Italy's Piedmont region. Since 1978, the winery has grown to encompass over 320 acres of estate vineyards.The Dogliani family works with the land and allows nature to ensure their wines' quality comes first. Batasiolo's 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. The Briccolina vineyard in the Serralunga d'Alba commune has rich, clay soil packed with grey marl. A southwestern exposure results in well-structured, full-bodied wine that can age for 15-20 years.

Winemaking & Aging

Nebbiolo grapes are destemmed and fermented on their skins in stainless steel for 8-12 days with periodic pumping-over. The juice is then aged for at least 24 months in French oak barrels followed by an additional 12 months or more in stainless steel.

Tasting Notes

Deep garnet red Ripe fruit, flowers, and spices with subtle hints of wood, typical of the region. Powerful, elegant, and charming, with an intense, full-bodied palate that enhances the notes in the nose.

Points

Aromas of smoke, bark, terracotta and berries follow through to a full body, round, chewy tannins with a hint of dust and a flavorful finish. Better in 2021, but already attractive to drink if you don’t mind the tannins. -J.S.

Points

Batasiolo produces wines from various regions in Piedmont, including a number of Barolos, with an annual total production of 2.5 million bottles. Briccolina is among their best, coming from a small west-facing site in Serralunga. The cherry-scented nose is robust and rather subdued at present, while the palate is fleshy and concentrated in style, ripe and creamy with good depth of fruit and impressive tannic grip. The fruit comes through on the finish, suggesting this should evolve well. -S.B.
