Barolo

1989 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Beni Di Batasiolo Barolo, a splendid vintage from 1989, showcases the remarkable Nebbiolo grape, known for its ability to age gracefully and develop complex flavors over time. This red wine presents a beautiful garnet color, inviting drinkers to explore its rich and nuanced profile. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied structure supported by pronounced acidity, which ensures vibrancy and longevity. The tannins are firm yet refined, contributing to the wine's overall elegance. As you savor each sip, expect an intense fruitiness, with notes of dark cherries and dried roses, intermingled with earthy undertones and hints of truffles. Its well-integrated dryness allows the flavors to linger, making it a true representation of the Barolo region's legendary terroir.

Italy

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.
