Batasiolo: Excellence in Asti Sparkling Wine Production
Nestled in the evocative landscapes of Piedmont, Batasiolo Winery distinguishes itself not only through its acclaimed red and white wines but also as a renowned producer of Asti sparkling wines. The winery seamlessly blends tradition with innovation under the stewardship of the Dogliani family. The 1979 acquisition of the historic Kiola Winery, including its seven esteemed crus, significantly bolstered Batasiolo’s production capabilities. While this move enhanced their cultivation of the Nebbiolo da Barolo grape, it also sharpened their focus on the aromatic Moscato Bianco, pivotal for their Asti sparkling wines. Today, Batasiolo is celebrated particularly for its Asti, masterfully crafted from Moscato Bianco grapes that flourish across the winery’s vineyards, benefiting from the region’s optimal microclimate and fertile soils.
Commitment to Quality
Batasiolo’s strength lies in its commitment to safeguarding the quality of its wines. Managing over 156 hectares, including vineyards specifically used to produce charming Asti, the winery combines traditional methods with modern technology to ensure each bottle reflects the character of the terroir and the unique essence of the vintage.
Today, Batasiolo continues to pave the way for the future of Asti sparkling wine, making it a beloved choice for both connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts alike.
Asti by Batasiolo: A Testament to Piedmont's Sparkling Heritage
Batasiolo’s Asti sparkling wine is a testament to the rich winemaking heritage of the Asti district, known for its aromatic sparkling wines that echo the alpine freshness of northwestern Italy. Harvested from the rolling hills around the Tanaro River, including prime locations like Serralunga d’Alba and Santa Victoria d’Alba, Batasiolo’s vineyards are perfectly positioned between 100 – 300 meters above sea level.
The marl and limestone-rich hills, alongside the sandy and lime deposits in the valleys, provide an optimal terroir for the Moscato Bianco grapes, ensuring each glass of Batasiolo Asti sparkles with the purity and vibrancy of the region.
Cultural Impact and Broader Offerings
Batasiolo not only excels in wine production but also in contributing to the cultural fabric of the region. The winery offers a diverse portfolio, celebrating Piedmont’s rich winemaking tradition. These products, along with the winery’s involvement in community and cultural events, exemplify Batasiolo’s role as an ambassador of the Langhe wine culture. Their wines, known for their intense sensorial richness, are a testament to the dedication and tradition that Batasiolo upholds, making them a quintessential representative of Italian wine excellence on the global stage.
