Barolo

1961 Barolo Red Blend

The Beni Di Batasiolo Barolo, a remarkable red blend from the esteemed Barolo region, showcases the elegance and complexity typical of the vintage 1961. Its deep red color hints at the richness within, while the aroma unfurls to reveal inviting notes of dark cherry, plum, and subtle earthiness, layering with undertones of leather and spice. On the palate, this wine presents a full-bodied structure that is beautifully balanced by lively acidity, providing a refreshing counterpoint to the prominent fruitiness. The tannins, firm yet well-integrated, lend a sense of sophistication and depth, enhancing the wine's longevity. As it lingers, a delightful touch of dryness emerges, making this vintage a true testament to the craftsmanship of Barolo winemaking.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
