Barolo DOCG Bussia Vigneto Bofani 2016 Beni di Batasiolo

What type of wine it is

The Barolo Bussia by Batasiolo from Vigneto Bofani is a still red wine made from Nebbiolo grapes. It has a full, robust structure, with well-present yet pleasant tannins and balanced acidity. It is a complex red with significant aging potential over time.

Where it comes from

The grapes come from Vigneto Bofani, in the Bussia area, in Monforte d'Alba, in the heart of the Barolo zone. This area is renowned for its long winemaking tradition and gives the wine structure, complexity and a clear sense of place.

How it is made

Vinification begins with destemming and fermentation of the grapes, with skin maceration for at least 10–12 days in temperature-controlled steel tanks and with regular pump-overs. The wine then matures in Slavonian oak casks, continues refinement in stainless-steel tanks and is completed with a period in bottle.

Tasting notes

In appearance it shows an intense garnet red with orange highlights. On the nose it offers a rich, persistent bouquet of dried fruit, red-fruit preserves, flowers, spices and toasted notes. On the palate it is rich and full-bodied, with firm yet pleasant tannins and a balanced acidity that supports the structure.

Food pairings

It pairs well with dishes of red meats and game, as well as with roasts and flavorful, aged cheeses. Its structure and tannins stand up to the richness of meat dishes and more savory preparations.

When to serve it

It is a red suited to special dinners based on meat and game, and to moments when you want a wine with character. Serve it in a large-bowled glass and let it breathe for a few minutes before drinking, so the aromas open up. Its structure allows it to age in the bottle over time.
