For Batasiolo's Barolo D'Alba DOC Sovrana, Barbera grapes are sourced from two prized Barolo vineyards: Bricco di Verne in Barolo and Tantesi in Monforte d'Alba. The wine is aged in Slavonian oak and French barriques before blending and additional aging in both stainless steel vats and bottle. The palate has pleasant spicy flavors and delicate notes of wood and flowers. A high yet pleasing alcohol content marries well with a crispness that is typical of Barbera. A great match for appetizers, pasta, risotto, red and white meats, aged cheese, as well as fish dishes.
