Sottimano, Barbaresco 'Basarin', 2020
The Basarin cru sits on the Neive side of Barbaresco, where higher elevation and cooler exposures give Nebbiolo a more lifted, linear voice. In Sottimano’s hands—farming organically and fermenting with native yeasts—the site’s elegance comes through with clarity.
The 2020 vintage is perfumed and bright up front: rose petal, red cherry, and spice. But underneath, it’s serious—fine-grained tannins and a mineral tension that gives the wine its Barbaresco backbone. Aged in neutral barrels to let the vineyard speak, it’s a wine built on precision, not polish.
Basarin is often the most graceful of Sottimano’s crus, and in 2020, that elegance comes through with just enough grip to promise years ahead. A Barbaresco that’s easy to approach—but hard to forget.
