--------THE PRODUCER--------

Punset

Punset winery is located in the region of Piemonte in northwestern Italy. The name Punset derives from the literal translation of 'beautiful hill' or 'peak' which was used by the Count of Neive to describe the land that the winery is now based on. The vineyards have been in the Marcarino family's ownership since a long distant time. It wasn't until the early 1960s that they started to produce commerically though, previously it was all for friends and family. In the 1980s, Marina, Renzo's daughter, took over and converted the property into a completely organic operation.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the red grape varietal behind the King and Queen of Italy's red wine scene: Barolo and Barbaresco. These regions are up in Piemonte where it is also made under the region of Langhe Nebbiolo, which is less complex as the aforementioned regions. Whilst it is not widely planted across the world there are some stunning examples in Australia and California. Red fruits and florals are the hallmarks of Nebbiolo's aromatics and the best examples of Nebbiolo are ageworthy for up to 50 years.

 

--------THE REGION--------
