94 points from Luca Maroni Best Italian Wines.

Roero Batistin is a very elegant red wine, of great charm and perspective. There is the imprimatur of Nebbiolo in this wine, with elegant and never intrusive characters. The most aristocratic of Piedmontese vines. Production : 1333 bottles.

Tasting Notes : In the glass, all the characteristics of Roero receive full satisfaction. The Batistin presents itself - with a particularly fruity and fragrant style - already from its beautiful ruby color, very captivating. A nuance that over time becomes more and more insistent with garnet reflections. On the nose, its fruity complex is reminiscent of violets, raspberries, wild strawberries. Without masking a clear ethereal complexity that opens up to spicy hints of cinnamon, pepper and over the years of vanilla. Finally, on the palate, the flavour becomes dry, broad, warm and, for many, velvety.

Food pairings : tasty Piedmontese first courses and then roasts and stews of meat or medium-aged cheeses. Best served at 18 ° C.
