Beni di Batasiolo Barolo 2021

Beni di Batasiolo Barolo 2021 is an intense garnet-red wine that impresses with a highly expressive and complex bouquet. It opens with fragrant aromas of sweet ripe cherries and plums, elegantly combined with floral tones of violet, rosehip, and hibiscus, alongside a distinct spiciness from wild herbs and nuances of fresh truffle, leather, and earth. On the palate, this pure Nebbiolo is wonderfully harmonious, deep, and dense. It showcases a medium to full-bodied profile driven by a fresh, animating acidity and fine-grained, increasingly powerful tannins. The powerful structure is balanced by a beautiful fruity core and a polished, slightly spicy, and medium-long juicy finish underscored by a fine mineral vein.

Food Pairing: This robust and structured Barolo pairs excellently with rich, hearty dishes such as roast lamb, wild boar ragu, braised beef short ribs, mushroom risotto with fresh truffles, and a selection of mature, hard cheeses.

92 Points - James Suckling

A fresh and floral wine with aromas of red currants, violets, leather and some earth. Medium-bodied and a bit austere, with a crunchy palate, moderate to refreshing acidity and a tight finish. Drink now.
