Punset - Langhe Rosso ‘neh!’, Piedmont, Italy (2020)

TASTING NOTES

The ruby red colour with garnet reflections accompanies pleasant aromas of red berries and floral aromas of rose and violet, intense and harmonious. The fruity aroma is also very evident on the palate, characterized by a dry and clean finish.

The grapes, cultivated according to organic farming methods, are carefully selected and harvested by hand, in perforated crates, and pressed, removing the stalks. Like every other red wine of the company, fermentation takes place spontaneously, thanks to indigenous yeasts, in cement tanks. The fruity aromas characterize this wine that only in some years has a short stay in large barrels but is usually aged in cement until bottling. 

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.
