The Batasiolo 1988 Barolo DOCG is a true enological treasure that tells the story of the historic tradition of Piedmontese winemaking. Hailing from the renowned Barolo denomination, located in the heart of the Langhe, this historic vintage represents a perfect balance between elegance and power, the result of a meticulous selection of Nebbiolo grapes, the king of Piedmontese varietals. The year 1988 was characterized by a balanced climate, which favored a slow and optimal ripening of the grapes, contributing to an unparalleled aromatic complexity.
In the glass, the Barolo presents an intense garnet color, leaning toward orange, a sign of successful aging. On the nose, enveloping scents of wilted roses, ripe cherries, and earthy notes of truffle and dried leaves emerge, followed by more intimate nuances of spices and roasted coffee. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with soft tannins and a vibrant acidity that enhances its freshness, making it incredibly complex and persistent.
Perfectly paired with rich dishes such as braised meats, game, or aged cheeses, this Barolo offers a sensory experience that speaks of a bygone era, making it ideal for special celebrations or as a collector's wine. Discovering the Batasiolo 1988 means embarking on a journey through the tradition, craftsmanship, and passion of Piedmontese winemaking.
