An Italian Moscato Bianco white sweet wine from one of the most celebrated wineries in the Piedmont region of Italy.
The high-altitude vineyards of this Moscato are located on the Beni di Boscareto estate on the Serralunga hillsides , an area with conditions perfect for producing a luscious, fruity dessert wine. This sweet dessert wine is a straw-yellow wine with golden highlights. Very intense and clean aromas of rose, peach, white fruit, apricot, figs and orange flowers. In the mouth it is rightly crisp, wide-ranging and very elegant but not overly sweet. Excellent dessert wine, it is the splendid accompaniment for fruit salads, desserts, cakes and cream pastries. Ideal complement of Panettone and traditional Christmas desserts.
Beni di Batasiolo - located in Piedmont, Italy - is the story of the Dogliani family. The family has lived the world of wine for five generations in Italy’s Langhe district, whose vineyards have contributed immensely to making Italian wines famous the world over. In these lands of oblique light and veiled mists, the Dogliani family has lived through the many changes of these fields, which perhaps have seen more transformations in the last fifty years than over the centuries before. In 1978, the Dogliani family purchased the historic Kiola winery with its seven “beni,” or “estate,” in the internationally renowned zone for growing the celebrated Nebbiolo da Barolo grape. This is a place where, by tradition, the idea of “beni” takes on tangible value: the vines, the farmsteads, the people living and working there and the evocative landscape of soft, rolling hills and orderly vineyards. This is the experience the wines of the Langhe have always offered the world.
A good wine reveals to the world the soul of its vineyard, evokes its traditions and developments and encapsulates the unique notes of the season that ripened its grapes. Every vintage arouses a different emotion, making it truly unique. The difference is real history, the fragrant lands and the everyday lives of the people. Beni di Batasiolo's ambition is to reflect this difference in their wines.
