## Summary

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.
