2023 Paitin Basarin Barbaresco (PRE-ARRIVAL ONLY)

Pre-arrival price only wine will be $205 when landed.

From 50 year old vines in the cru of Basarin (Neive).  Here the soils are sandy – providing fine, elegant but lingering tannins.  It’s a superb release.

17+/20 Jancis Robinson (Walter Speller) – “Pale ruby. Lifted and almost rich on the nose with notes of sweet raspberry with a minerally undertow and a hint of liquorice. Gorgeous sappy raspberry fruit, super-elegant and with a layer of chewy tannins. Elegant, cool and complex, and subtle rather than opulent.”

95 Points, Monica Larner (Parker – The Wine Advocate) – “From one of Neive's most recognized MGAs, the Paitin 2023 Barbaresco Basarin offers a fine and delicate interpretation of the vintage. There is a moment of tension and firmness across the palate, but the wine also delivers impressive range with pretty floral aromas, forest berry and subtle mineral accents. Integrated tannins lend a polished, almost glossy quality to the finish, making this an especially graceful expression that balances precision and complexity.”
