## Summary

Basinas is Daglio's Barbera from an 85-year-old vineyard on tufo soil, aged 12 months in barrique and a further 4 years in bottle before release.

## Tasting notes

Ruby red with a garnet rim; a serious wine with tertiary notes of incense, wilted rose and tobacco. Warm on the palate, with robust, enveloping tannins and a retronasal persistence of over 10 seconds. The producer recommends opening it an hour before tasting.

## Food pairings

Piemontese meat dishes with enough intensity to stand up to the wine.
