Barolo DOCG Boscareto Riserva 2012 Beni di Batasiolo

What kind of wine it is

The Barolo Boscareto Riserva by Batasiolo is a still red wine made from Nebbiolo grapes. It is ideal for those seeking structured, complex reds, with a sturdy character and good longevity. The profile is full, austere, and captivating.

Where it comes from

The grapes come from the Boscareto area, in Serralunga d'Alba, in the heart of the Barolo zone. The vocation of the land, combined with careful vinification, gives rise to a wine of structure and great persistence.

How it is made

The process begins with destemming, followed by fermentation with skin maceration for at least 10-12 days, in temperature-controlled steel tanks with frequent pump-overs. Ageing takes place in Slavonian oak casks and then in stainless steel tanks, and continues with a further period in bottle.

Tasting notes

In appearance, it shows an intense garnet red with orange highlights. The bouquet is broad and ethereal, with persistent notes of dried fruit and flowers, notably rose and violet, accompanied by hints of sweet spices, toasty notes and leather. On the palate it displays a solid structure, with evident yet supple tannins, delivering a full, austere sip.

Food pairings

It pairs well with red meats, game and roasts, as well as with aged cheeses that are rich in flavor. Its structure and tannins support the richness of meat dishes and more savory preparations.

When to serve it

A red suited to special-occasion dinners featuring meat and game, and to moments when you want a wine with character. Serve it in a large glass and let it breathe for a few minutes before drinking, so the aromas can open up. Its structure allows it to evolve in the bottle for many years.
