Barbaresco Basarin

Barbaresco
BASARIN

It is a long hill mostly exposed to South and South-East. Nestled among Neive -of which it belongs-, Treiso and Barbaresco. Historically Basarin became famous thanks to Don Cogno, priest of Neive. Together with Gallina, Basarin was well known in Neive to concede very graceful, elegant and constant wines. Wines that emerge from Basarin vineyard can synthetize its crossroad position from where they come. The texture of Barbaresco, the fine spices of Treiso and the gravity of Neive all in one wine.

Our Basarin comes from the curve in which the hill turns from South-East to South, over the Moretta hamlet, where the valley opens. The wine that emerges is fresh and bright, surrounded by spices and balsamic notes with a texture that privileges sharpness rather than weight.
