ONE TIME OFFER $49 (Retail Value $95) 138 BOTTLES REMAINING!: When done right, Barbaresco is not a wine but an experience. Enter Battaglio Barbaresco 2021. Gold Medal Winner at the Merano Wine Hunter Competition in Italy. 90 Points in Vini Veronelli. And “Best of Italian Wines Yearbook” by acclaimed Italian wine critic, Luca Maroni. Barbaresco is considered one of the world’s greatest wines. And the 2021 is considered an excellent vintage; 95-98 points according to Wine Spectator. Made with 100% Nebbiolo, Barbaresco wines have the ability to age for decades. The Battaglio Barbaresco comes from a cru territory called Serragrilli. Gianluca Battaglio is a masterful artisan winemaker that produced just 1500 bottles of this Barbaresco and we were able to get the last batch of 300 bottles. Made with only hand-harvested and hand-selected grapes of the finest quality. Only 5 family members work in the vineyard. Each bottled is individually numbered. Full bodied Barbaresco with elegance, structure, and finesse. Floral and red fruit aromatics. Ripe fruit and soft texture on the front palate, full mid palate, red fruit, rose petals, and vivacious acidity and full explosiveness on the back palate. A meditative finish with elegant tannins that fade gracefully and generously give another wave of red fruit and red floral to savor. Pairs beautifully with mushroom based dishes like mushroom risotto, filet mignon with a side of mixed mushrooms, and veal. Aged cheeses are always welcome. Can age in your cellar for 20 years conservatively or enjoyed right now which is the beauty of Barbaresco.
