Barbera d'Alba DOC Sovrana 2024 Beni di Batasiolo

What kind of wine is it

Barbera d’Alba Sovrana Beni di Batasiolo is a red wine from the Langhe made exclusively from Barbera grapes. Vinification takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperature and the combination of aging in wood and steel defines a fresh and intense style, with a fruity and spicy profile and a distinctly persistent finish.

Where does it come from

It originates in Piedmont, in the Langhe, within the Barbera d’Alba area. It is produced by Beni di Batasiolo, a benchmark brand in local wine production for over four decades. The Langhe origin offers an agile yet well-defined expression, centered on fruit and savory dynamism.

How is it made

Barbera grapes are destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature for about 10–12 days, maintaining aromatic precision and fruit purity. Maturation continues partly in French oak barriques and partly in Slavonian oak barrels, before finishing in stainless steel tanks, keeping freshness and intensity in balance.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows a ruby red color with purple highlights. The nose reveals aromas of red fruits, hints of cherries in alcohol and spicy notes. On the palate, it is fresh and intense, with a linear progression and a pleasantly lingering finish.

Food pairing

At the table, it naturally complements charcuterie starters, offering freshness that cleanses the palate. With first courses, it supports richly flavored dishes without being heavy, while with grilled red meat it finds a perfect pairing, enhancing intensity and persistence.

When to serve it

This is a red suitable for convivial occasions and lunches or dinners where a wine with character and an agile pace is sought. Its freshness makes it versatile with charcuterie, pasta, or grilled fare, while aging between barriques and barrels adds spicy nuances without masking the fruit.
