I only tasted one single vineyard 1989 Barolo from Batasiolo, the Cru Boscareto. It is an elegant, lovely wine with plenty of sweet, jammy, cherry fruit and dusty tannin. Overall it is a modern-styled Barolo with the emphasis on suppleness, finesse, and up-front, forward fruit. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. Batasiolo is one of the largest vineyard owners in Piedmont, owning over 250 acres, a vast empire in view of the tiny Barolo and Barbaresco estates that tend to resemble the morsellated Burgundy landscape. In the past, I have found Batasiolo wines to be straightforward and monolithic. Importer: a Leonardo Lo Cascio selection, Winebow, Inc., Hohokus, NJ.

Ripe and inviting, with tannins that come off as coarse around a supple core of caramel and black cherry flavors. Drink with hearty food.??–null??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
