Basarin
By Paitin, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy
Basarin, first vinified separately by Paitin in 2018 (the year of acquisition), comes from the bend where the hill turns from south-east to south above the Moretta hamlet, at the crossroads of Neive, Treiso and Barbaresco; historically made famous by Don Cogno, priest of Neive.
Tasting notes
Fresh and bright, surrounded by spices and balsamic notes, with a texture that favours sharpness over weight.
