Batasiolo

Distinctive Features: Particularly appreciated by the connoisseurs of round, velvety wine, this satisfying sipping red is the ideal companion for formal and traditional meals, as well as being a coveted label for festive occasions and gifts sure to leave an impression. Vinification: The Nebbiolo grapes, harvested by hand in the second half of October, are destemmed, macerated and left to ferment on the skins for at least 10-12 days in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, with regular pumping over. It is aged in Slavonian oak casks for at least eighteen months followed by ageing in stainless steel vats. Refining continues in the bottle after this time. Grape Type: Rightly dubbed the Italian "King of Wines", Barolo is made from Nebbiolo grapes only grown in one of the eleven designated communes. Thin skin, long vegetative cycle, light colour and noble astringency are the predominant varietal characteristics in Piedmont. Historical Background: Legend has it that the first Barolo Riserva was created when a winemaker forgot about their casks in the cellar. Paradoxically as it may sound, the legend might well be true and when the casks were rediscovered the contents was found to be remarkably good. Brand: Human experience, tradition, research and innovation – strong of the founding values of Batasiolo, the age-old wine-making tradition becomes contemporary excellence. Batasiolo labels are being restyled: you may already receive the products with the new design.
