The Paitin 2022 Barbaresco Basarin is a wine of noted intensity with blue flowers, underbrush, iron and earthy roots. This site has sandy soils and is surrounded by cooling forest with southern exposures. The vines are 50 years old, and this complex expression ends with fleeting notes of iris, lilac and violet that are very beautiful.

Fairly complex with a vibrant nose of dark fruit, mint, graphite and plenty of wild strawberries. Quite full-bodied with firm, dusty tannins, this is a bit angular on the midpalate. Savory, with crisp acidity and a flavorful finish. Austere but good. Drinkable now but best from 2027.
