Fabrizio Battaglino Mixed Bundle Black Friday — 6 bottles bundle —

Bastia is the name of a hill in Vezza d'Alba, which in 2017 was recognised as an additional geographical mention for the Roero appellation. This detail makes Fabrizio very proud.

Here the soil gives great satisfaction: the richness of sand gives his Roero Arneis a more pronounced structure than usual.

Sight

It is straw yellow.

Nose

The bouquet is very intense and persistent with hints of apricot and apple, final notes of chamomile.

Taste

In the mouth it is savoury, well-structured and harmonious.

Pairing tips

It is a wine with a good structure, so it will win you over with first courses. The best are those of our tradition, such as plin with three roasts and tajarin butter and sage.

Serving temperature: 12 - 13°C.

It’s your guy if…

...You have planned a nice romantic dinner, but don't want to commit to a structured red.

This wine makes a pleasant evening with some nice dishes, not the usual aperitif :-)

This Nebbiolo comes from a young vineyard on the Colla hill, which has been recognised as an Additional Geographical Mention.

Fabrizio, however, wanted to give his wine a fancy name, Paradi', which for him has a double meaning: it reminds him that each of his hills is a true paradise and indicates his desire to pay homage to the Nebbiolo that his grandfather used to make fifty years ago.

Per tutt'i dì (for every day). A light and drinkable red, the classic Nebbiolino, without negative connotations, but pleasant everyday, easy.

To achieve this, Fabrizio has tried to recreate the conditions of when his grandfather cultivated the vineyard, but as the climate has changed, he has planted his vines on the east-facing slope, 350 metres above sea level.

At one time, this plot was cultivated as an orchard to leave the vineyard the sunniest area (to the west), perfect for the grapes to enjoy the hours of sunset in the autumn, which gave the final push to ripening.

Today, the gentler morning sun acts on the grapes as it did in the past, giving a product very similar to that of Fabrizio's memories.

Sight

It is a red of beautiful expressive naturalness.

Nose

You feel it clean and fragrant, of good fruit.

Taste

Delicate tannins typical of Nebbiolo and a good lengthening finish win you over.

Pairing tips

Fabrizio recommends it with tajarin al ragù, if you want to stick to the classics.

If, on the other hand, you want to change it up a bit, stewed moscardini or richer fish dishes go perfectly with it. The delicate tannin helps to degrease the mouth, despite being a rather delicate wine.

It’s your guy if…

...You are looking for a classic, easy-drinking Nebbiolo, without overdoing the more demanding Barbera, Barolo and Roero structures.
