Barbaresco "Basarin" 2016

Renato Fenocchio's Barbaresco Basarin is born in Neive, on a completely south-facing slope of this renowned location.

Barbaresco Basarin is dedicated to Renato's wife, Milva. Until the 2014 vintage, it was blended with other wines to produce a classic Barbaresco, but since 2015, it has been bottled with the vineyard designation. It is probably the most age-worthy Barbaresco produced by Renato, who strongly believes in this wine with its austere, ethereal character, where notes of vanilla and mint find balance, never compromising the fruit's crispness.

The Winery: Renato Fenocchio

Renato and Milva Fenocchio live in Neive, where they have managed the family business since 1993. The total vineyard area is about 11 hectares, all cultivated organically in the municipalities of Neive, Barbaresco, and Treiso. Renato is primarily a farmer and considers a sustainable approach to vineyard work to be very important. Recently, new cultivation and prevention techniques against fungi and vine pests have been frequently implemented. Winery practices are always aimed at maximizing the grape variety's expression: the grapes are stressed as little as possible, and enological techniques are never invasive. Renato and Milva are true wine artisans, driven by an incredible passion for the land and its fruits.
