Yields were below average, but the quality of the skins and tannins allowed for an intense, concentrated, and harmonious wine. A vintage that gives the \u003cstrong\u003eBarbaresco Riserva 'Basarin' 2017 - Punset\u003c\/strong\u003e a rich and full-bodied profile, ideal for those who love Nebbiolo with a decisive and profound character.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe Nebbiolo grapes are harvested manually at the peak of their ripeness and ferment using only indigenous yeasts, which are naturally present on the skins and in the cellar environment.\nMaceration takes place for several weeks, to naturally extract color, aromas, and structure.

The result is a Barbaresco Riserva that combines tradition and expressive purity, without excessive wood or invasive interventions.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nVisually, the \u003cstrong\u003eBarbaresco Riserva DOCG 'Basarin' 2017 - Punset\u003c\/strong\u003e has a bright garnet red color, typical of the best evolving Nebbiolo, with orange reflections that anticipate its elegance.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe bouquet is complex and enveloping: it releases notes of ripe red fruits, cherry, and raspberry, followed by spicy hints of liquorice, black pepper, and a touch of sweet tobacco.
