Battaglio Description

600 Bottles Handcrafted In Italy

In the heart of Piedmont, atop the fabled Serragrilli hill, lies a vineyard that knows the secrets of time and the beauty of patience. The Serragrilli hill is not just any vineyard; it is the crown jewel of Barbaresco, bathed in the most sunlight and caressed by high-altitude breezes. This rare combination of elevation and natural water drainage produces Nebbiolo grapes with a purity found nowhere else, grapes worthy of becoming Battaglio Barbaresco Riserva 2018.

Only the finest Nebbiolo are handpicked from a tiny, carefully chosen parcel—a micro-plot of vines tended by the Battaglio family, whose bond with this land runs as deep as the roots beneath. From this cherished parcel, a rare 600 bottles emerged, each representing a piece of the family’s legacy. The grapes are pressed and aged in 20% French barrique and 80% Slovenian oak for three years, imparting a balance of elegance and depth. And then, as if preparing for a final journey, they rest for another two years in glass within the quiet sanctuary of the estate cellar, developing their character and complexity.

On the nose, Battaglio Barbaresco Riserva 2018 is like a whispered memory—a mix of wild berries, violet, and a faint touch of dried herbs. Each sip brings a tapestry of flavors: tart cherries, hints of earth, and an undertone of spice that speaks of the land’s complex soil. The wine has a structured intensity, softened by the elegance of age, with tannins that are both present and impossibly graceful.
