Production area
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. 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.
Vinification 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.
