2 x Sottimano Barbaresco Basarin DOCG 2016 (Italy)

awarded 93/100 points: Antonio Galloni, Nov 2019

"The 2016 Barbaresco Basarin is elegant, perfumed and gracious. Sweet dark cherry, lavender, spice and mint all grace this nuanced, understated Barbaresco from Sottimano. The Basarin shows a decidedly aromatic, finessed expression of Neive" Antonio Galloni, Nov 2019

The Barbaresco Basarin has a deep brillant red, an intense, persistent nose of fruits and spices, with some hints of dried rose, cherries, licorice and tobacco. On the palate it shows a good, firm body and very refined tannins, with notes of violet, mint and a fresh, vibrant fruit.

Argentiera, Doc Bolgheri Superiore, draws its strength and uniqueness from the magnificent territory in which it’s generated. The grapes come from the estate’s best vineyards of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It is a wine with a rich and silky taste. A long maturation in French oak barrels, the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the unique terroir of Tenuta Argentiera make this wine on of the greatest expressions in the Bolgheri area.

A blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
