Their vineyards stretch across some of Barolo’s most prestigious crus, including Bussia and Brunate, reflecting a deep commitment to expressing terroir through meticulous vineyard management and minimal intervention winemaking. The estate’s philosophy centers on allowing Nebbiolo and other indigenous grapes like Dolcetto and Moscato to fully convey their unique characteristics shaped by the calcareous marl soils and temperate climate of Cuneo province. Beyond their flagship Barolo wines, Beni di Batasiolo crafts expressive Gavi from Cortese grapes grown in Alessandria as well as elegant Barbaresco and lively Moscato d’Asti, each highlighting distinct facets of Piedmont’s diverse wine landscape.
