THE REVIEW OF BARBARESCO RISERVA BASARIN PUNSET BY LUCA STROPPA

The producer

The Azienda Agricola Punset is located in Neive, on the top of a hill which faces the old town. The name comes from the Piedmontese dialect and it has legendary origin: it seems that the Count of Neive gave this nickname to the hill he could see from his castle during the foggy days of winter. The vineyards are a property of this family since a long time and new vineyards were added with the time and some others are controlled by the winery. Now the winery is run by Marina Marcarino, one of a few women totally involved in the wine production in Piedmont. Vineyards are cultivated following organic methods since 1987 and all the wines are biologic certified as the CEE law requires by Ecocert Italia.
