About this wine
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.
A structured, age-worthy Barbaresco — best decanted an hour before serving to soften its firm tannins.
Sommelier's Note
"Basarin is the truest expression of San Rocco Seno d'Elvio's terroir — a Barbaresco that trades flashiness for structure and staying power."
Food Pairings
A classic match for braised beef, brasato al Barolo-style dishes, wild game, and aged Piedmontese cheeses such as Castelmagno.
When to drink it
Special dinners, milestone celebrations, and pairing with slow-cooked red meat dishes.

Expect strawberry compote, plump dark cherry and baking spice on the nose, and a juicy, warmly structured palate with the extra time in cask and bottle bringing added complexity and softness to the tannins.
