Batic Valentino NV

In a class of its own – this sweet wine

The grapes for Batic Valentino are harvested by hand – only the finest grapes are selected and harvested individually. Valentino is made from dried Pinela and Rebula grapes. Only the best harvests from the best years are used. The harvest begins in mid-October and the grapes are placed in wooden boxes. They are then left to dry naturally in a dry, windy attic until April.

During this time, the grapes turn into raisins – a fact that is also reflected in the taste of the Batic Valentino. Each grape is carefully checked before pressing. After a week of manual selection, the grapes are pressed. Traditionally, Valentino grapes are pressed around Easter. One litre of Valentino is pressed from the initial 25 kilograms of harvested and dried grapes. The wine is then poured into Slovenian oak barrels and matured for one and a half to four years.

Valentino is also bottled by hand – each barrel individually, under a specific moon. This sweet wine from the Batic winery combines perfect winemaking and nature to create something very special.

The colour in the glass is an intense and deep amber with beautiful gold tones. Perfect viscosity and oiliness when pouring also distinguish the Batic Valentino as a very special wine.

On the nose, the aroma is clear and pure. Scents of white fruit jam and beeswax are present, as are those of cooked fruit and sweet spices.

On the palate, a fascinating array of flavours (dried apricots, hazelnuts, almonds and honey), with a wonderfully long finish.
