About this WINE
Punset, Piedmont
Marina Marcarino of Punset produces an authentic and fine Barbaresco style of wine. Destined to be an engineer by a family in the construction business, Marina rebelled and headed to the vineyards on their 17ha estate overlooking Neive; following in their footsteps of her grandmother, also a ‘contadina’. Trained in viticulture, she turned the property organic in 1982, certified in 1993.
All the vineyards are grassed over, with the fruit being vinified traditionally in both cement and stainless steel, before being aged in a combination of used French tonneaux and slavonian botte grande.
Punset has three Barbaresco vineyards: Basarin, San Cristoforo, and San Cristoforo ‘Campo Quadro’.
Other Varieties
There are over 200 different grape varieties used in modern wine making (from a total of over 1000). Most lesser known blends and varieties are traditional to specific parts of the world.

Description
Ne?' provocatively asks, clad in a funky label, whether you would like 'some' (to drink)? You'd be mad not too, for this is a deliciously pure, light-hearted, unoaked, everyday expression of Piedmont's white, tufo soils, as interpreted by Marina Marcarino through her organic blend of 70% Arneis, 30% Favorita (Vermentino), Cortese and Chardonnay.
You'd be forgiven for thinking it had some Sauvignon Blanc too, such is the fresh, white stone, slightly grassy flavours. Very bright and fluid, so easy to drink and enjoy at a modest 12.5% alcohol strength.
