Punset
プンセット
Italy's organic Barbaresco pioneer since 1982.
Located in Neive, in the heart of the Barbaresco production area of Piedmont, Punset is a pioneering estate in organic viticulture led by Marina Marcarino. Marina began converting the family's vineyards to organic farming in 1982 and achieved certification in 1993, making Punset one of the very first estates in Italy — and the producer of the first certified organic Barbaresco in the country. Her approach draws on biodynamic principles and the natural farming philosophy of Masanobu Fukuoka, emphasizing minimal intervention and respect for the vineyard's ecosystem. The estate's flagship, Barbaresco DOCG Riserva Basarin, expresses the elegance and structure of the Basarin cru with remarkable aging potential, alongside other Langhe classics such as Barbera, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, and Arneis.
