About this wine
An austere, elegant, and frank Riserva made from Nebbiolo grown in the Basarin subarea of Neive, one of Barbaresco's most prized crus. Bera's historic plantings here justify the Riserva designation, with extended aging of about five years in large Slavonian oak casks before bottling.
A serious, structured Riserva best enjoyed by those already familiar with Nebbiolo's tannic backbone.
Sommelier's Note
"Basarin's nervy, structured character shines through here — this is Bera at its most serious."
