Italian Blend

The prized grapes of the Piedmont region of Italy show their stuff in this Italian blend of Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto (means “little sweet one” in Italian).

 

Piedmont is located in a landlocked, mountainous area famous for producing the largest number of best known, noble and award-winning red wines including legendary reds like Barolo.

Beni di Batasiolo Langhe Rosso 2008 delivers a balanced, medium-bodied pour with ripe red berry and plum on the nose and palate with a silky, smooth finish. A great food companion to several of our menu items including Steak Frites.
