Product Notes

Punset Barbaresco Basarin is an exquisite Italian wine deriving from the Nebbiolo grape variety grown in Piedmont region. Distinguishable by its dynamic ruby red colour, this wine encapsulates one's senses, presenting a delightful fragrance of floral notes and undertones of lush berries. The pleasantly sharp tannins give it a robust yet well-balanced structure, while its complex taste reveals elegant layers of dried fruits and spices, rounding off with a hint of spiced chocolate. Aged for 30 months, Punset Barbaresco Basarin provides an evocative full-bodied experience, uniquely characteristic of its terroir, ideal for sophisticated wine connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes

Elegance and pleasantness characterise this wine: velvety, harmonious, with floral and berry scents that blend with aromas of chocolate and spices, graceful, delicate, persuasive. The colour is ruby red garnet that with the years takes on slightly orangey tones.

About the Winery

Punset

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.
