BackgroundBeni 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. Beni di Batasiolo Barolo Riserva can age for at least 30 years.
VinificationNebbiolo grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed and fermented on their skins in stainless steel for 10-12 days. The juice is then aged in Slavonian oak casks for at least 18 months followed additional time in stainless steel.
