Punset - Dolcetto d’Alba, Piedmont, Italy (2022)

TASTING NOTES

Fresh dark fruits, with notes of ripe blackberry, succulent plum, and a hint of cherry, subtle floral undertones and earthiness. Medium-bodied and balanced between its lively acidity and soft, pleasant tannins.

Maceration is carefully managed to be brief and sweet —no longer than 10 days— while the wine is aged for approximately a year in concrete tanks.

Punset is an innovator when it comes to organic wine. Inheriting the estate in 1982, Marina Marcarino is a fifth generation winemaker.

She transformed all 20 hectares of her land into a fully organic vineyard during a time where major producers of Barolo and Barbaresco were abandoning tradition to compete commercially. Instead of following the trend, she struck out on her own, and made wines that resonated with her past and passions. Known for the very first certified organic Barbaresco of Italy, Marina continues to show the world that you can preserve tradition and think of the future simultaneously.
