The Barbaresco DOCG Basarin 2021 from Sottimano is a wine that embodies the essence of the Langhe hills, a true jewel of Piedmontese viticulture. Hailing from the renowned Basarin cru, this wine is an ode to the Nebbiolo grape that thrives in clayey and limestone soils, imparting extraordinary complexity even from its young vintage.
In appearance, it presents a deep garnet red, from which emerges a rich and enveloping aromatic bouquet. On the nose, hints of ripe red fruit, such as plums and cherries, are accompanied by floral fragrances of violets and elegant spicy notes of black pepper and leather. On the palate, the Barbaresco Basarin showcases well-structured yet smooth tannins that invite a long sip. The freshness, combined with remarkable flavor persistence, reveals undertones of dark chocolate and tobacco, leaving a lingering trail of licorice and minerals on the palate.
Perfect for pairing with rich and structured dishes, such as Barolo braised meat or tagliatelle with meat ragù, this wine is also suitable for atmospheric evenings, where it can be appreciated alone to highlight its complexity. A glass of Barbaresco Basarin 2021 from Sottimano is an invitation to explore the depths and nuances of Piedmontese winemaking tradition, a journey through history and terroir that captivates with every sip.
