Barbaresco Basarin is Adriano Marco e Vittorio's flagship single-vineyard Nebbiolo, grown on the Basarin cru in San Rocco Seno d'Elvio near Alba. Fermented and macerated with traditional Piedmontese methods, it is aged around 12 months in large Slavonian oak barrels (30-50 hl) followed by further bottle refinement before release, giving a wine of violet and rose aromatics, licorice and spice, with dry, aristocratic tannins that reward patient cellaring.
Basarin is the truest expression of San Rocco Seno d'Elvio's terroir — a Barbaresco that trades flashiness for structure and staying power.
