About This Wine

Beni di Batasiolo is a reputable and storied winery in Piedmont, Italy, with a deep history in Barolo production. The Dogliani family, owners of Batasiolo, have roots in viticulture dating back to the late 1800s, formally establishing Beni di Batasiolo in 1978. They are one of Piedmont's largest family-owned producers, boasting over 320 acres of estate vineyards, crucially including prime holdings in prestigious Barolo crus like Cerequio, Bussia, and Brunate. Their wines consistently garner high critical acclaim, with the winery receiving a place on Wine Spectator's Top 100 list multiple times and global recognition, solidifying their reputation for quality and tradition.

The Beni di Batasiolo 2020 Barolo, made from 100% Nebbiolo, received a 94-point score from James Suckling in November 2024. Suckling praised its "fruit concentration, with dried cherries, dried cranberries, dark spices and earthy nuances." He described it as "firm and focused on the palate, it has a medium to full body with a fleshy flow of fruit and dusty tannins. Broad and mouth-filling," suggesting it will be "better after 2027." This vintage offers a classic expression of Barolo, balancing fruit intensity with a structured, elegant profile that promises excellent aging potential.
