Product Notes

Punset Barbera d'Alba is an exquisite Italian red wine, hailing from the famed Piedmont region. It entices wine lovers with its intense ruby red colour, heavy body and emphatic acidity. Notably, this wine boasts a complex melange of flavours; ripe red fruits, spices, and a hint of oak from its ageing process. On the nose, it is a captivating blend of cherry and blackberry aromas, underscored by fragrant violets. With its medium to high tannin content, it's a grand accompaniment to robust, savoury meals. The Punset Barbera d'Alba is a beautifully balanced, charming wine offering a truly indulgent drinking experience.

Tasting Notes

The ruby red colour accompanies pleasant aromas of red berry fruit, intense and harmonious. The fruity aroma is also very evident on the palate, characterised by a not very intense acidity and a dry and clean finish. The pleasantness of this product is given by its frankness and typicality, so evident also thanks to the total absence of wood.

About the Winery

Nestled in the heart of Italy's Piedmont region, the Punset winery is an amalgamation of traditional winemaking practices and innovative sustainability initiatives. Owned and managed by the charismatic Marina Marcarino, Punset is not just a vineyard, but a testament to Marcarino's belief in organic farming and the enhancement of local biodiversity.

Borne out of a deep-seated respect for the earth, Punset holds the distinction of being one of the first certified organic vineyards in the Barbaresco region. Marcarino, who took over the reins in the mid-'80s, has hence fashioned a winery steeped in love for nature's bounty. Her belief in organic farming has borne fruit in the distinctive array of wines produced at Punset.

The vineyards unfurling across the untouched hillsides of Piedmont echo the authenticity and distinct personality of Punset wines. This multiplicity stems from the five distinct vineyards – each with unique soil composition and microclimate – which flourish under the care of the Punset team.

Committed to creating wines that showcase the essence of the terroir, Punset utilises traditional winemaking techniques, with the gentle pressing of grapes, and spontaneous fermentation. However, what sets Punset apart is its dedication to biodynamic farming principles. This approach recognises the interconnectedness of all life and creates a harmonious environment, which is then reflected in the vibrant and complex flavour profiles of the Punset wines.

Their range of wines includes the classic Barbaresco and Arneis, alongside lesser-known gems such as Langhe Nebbiolo and Barbera d'Alba. Each bottle captures the essence of Punset: a refreshing and unique beacon of organic winemaking, and the embodiment of the vibrant harmony between humanity and nature, We welcome you to a glass of Punset - a palate-pleasing celebration of earthy authenticity and organic integrity.
