This classic Barolo offers a savory expression of Nebbiolo. The 2012 leans toward dried dark cherry and toasted hazelnut, with an earthy, herbal edge rather than simple fruit sweetness. Firm tannins anchor the palate, making it a natural choice for rich, slow-cooked food.

The producer
Since 1978, the Dogliani family has shaped Batasiolo around a mosaic of Langhe vineyards spanning several Barolo communes. Its classic Barolo uses Nebbiolo from across the DOCG area, offering a broader regional expression alongside the estate’s more narrowly defined vineyard wines.
What critics say
Wine Enthusiast’s Kerin O’Keefe scored Beni di Batasiolo’s 2012 Barolo 88 points. Her note moves from scorched earth, toasted hazelnut, dried black cherry and game to bitter sage on the palate, supported by firm tannins.
Pairing
Recommended with: Petite Filet Mignon (porcini mushroom demi-glace) or Herbed Rack Of Lamb.
