{"product_id":"sottimano-basarin-barbaresco-italie","title":"Sottimano - Basarin Barbaresco - 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Basarin Barbaresco from the Sottimano estate comes from the Basarin cru, a renowned hillside located in the municipality of Neive, in the heart of the Barbaresco appellation area in Piedmont. The vines are planted in marl-limestone soils mixed with clay and sand, facing primarily south and southwest, at a moderate altitude that promotes even ripening. This area of ​​Neive is known for producing elegant, structured, and aromatic wines, faithfully reflecting the character of the Langhe hills, a UNESCO World Heritage site.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Nebbiolo grapes are hand-harvested in the Basarin cru, then destemmed and transferred to stainless steel tanks for alcoholic fermentation. This fermentation involves extended maceration on the skins and gentle pump-overs to finely extract tannins and aromas. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally in barrels. The wine is then aged in mostly used French oak barrels on its fine lees, without fining or filtration before bottling, in order to preserve the integrity of the terroir and the typical finesse of this Barbaresco.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe red fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eblack cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eplum\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by \u003cstrong\u003efloral touches of rose and violet\u003c\/strong\u003e , as well as \u003cstrong\u003espicy\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances of pepper and licorice. \u003cstrong\u003eSubtle oak\u003c\/strong\u003e accents, hints of blond tobacco, and \u003cstrong\u003edamp earth\u003c\/strong\u003e add another dimension.
