See Bat and Bottle's Youtube where Matteo Ascheri (currently the President of the Consorzio for Barolo Barbaresco Alba Langhe e Dogliani ) gives a brief insight into his own single vineyard 'Pisapola' Barolo , available of course from Bat and Bottle - and have a listen to what he thinks of Ben and Emma (especially Emma!) .

In a previous life, we would be exhibiting at the London Wine Fair now, enjoying the company of our fellow members of the wine and hospitality trade. The only bit of the Fair that has survived this year is a new string to their bow: 'The Wine Buyers Awards'.  Unbeknownst to me, Emma entered me for the 'Online Specialist Buyer Award' and she most have put in an astonishing application because I won it!

A short video blog, this is a very lovely wine!

We continue to trade as close to normally as possible.  I will go back to using the blog as it should be used and will now use the events page (link here) to let you know what the local delivery schedule is. National deliveries are going out as normal. We will continue to offer free local delivery for orders of just 6 bottles or more over the lockdown period.  It is possible to click and collect from the warehouse as well, we do our utmost to respect physical distances.
