product2020 Barbaresco Basarin 'Vigna Gianmate'
Vigna Gianmate is a tiny plot at the top of the Basarin vineyard, widely considered one of the top crus in Barbaresco. In the local dialect, "Basarin" translates roughly to "warm place" - much like Côte-Rôtie. This is a sun-kissed Barbaresco, and one of the few wines that Giacosa ages partially in new barrique. It's a refined and powerful example of Nebbiolo at its best.
