Held back for an extra year before its release, the Beni di Batasiolo 2017 Barolo Boscareto is a near-term wine for sure and a slightly disjointed effort made with the especially robust fruit we associate with Serralunga d'Alba. I can taste the hot vintage in the wine's broad texture and granular tannins. It also comes through on the bouquet with dark plum and cherry liqueur. Fruit is sourced across an impressive 16 hectares of Nebbiolo vineyards with south-facing exposures, and production is an ample 13,000 bottles.
