Producer WebsiteView Technical Sheet

High on the sunlit slopes of Neive's historic Basarin Hill, where Piedmont's rolling hills meet centuries of winemaking wisdom, a singular wine takes form. The Punset Barbaresco Basarin Riserva DOCG is a rare expression of Nebbiolo - aged with intention, farmed with integrity, and crafted organically with minimal intervention.

This is a Barbaresco as it is meant to be: deep, dignified, and alive with the voice of its terroir.

Basarin is a legendary Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva (MGA), known for producing wines of remarkable finesse and aromatic complexity. At 450 meters above sea level, Punset's organically and biodynamically farmed wines thrive in clay-limestone soils that infuse the grapes with structure, minerality and lasting elegance.

Punset's Barbaresco Basarin Riserva expresses aromas of dried rose petals, sour cherry, licorice, forest floor and truffle. On the palate, it offers silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and harmonious layers of dark fruit, spice, and earthy elegance. Its finish is long, precise, unforgettable.

Made to pair with refined cuisine, this Barbaresco is a natural partner to braised meats, truffle pastas, aged cheeses and mushroom risottos.

Drink it now or cellar-age it confidently for up to 15 years. As it evolves, it unveils deeper notes of tobacco, leather, dried fruit, and sweet spice.

This wine deserves all the acclaim it has received.
