With fruit from La Morra, the Beni di Batasiolo 2016 Barolo Cerequio (with 13,000 bottles made) reveals dried berry fruit, blackcurrant, dusty clay and licorice. All these classic Nebbiolo aromas are enhanced by some faint mineral or iron-like tones. The wine finishes on a dry note, with some added tannic structure and astringency, so you're best off giving it just a little more time.
