VINIFICATION

We soft-press the grapes immediately after harvesting and separate the free-run must. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks with reducing conditions for one month at 15-16° C.
Its fine lees are stirred for about 6 months
The wine is filtered and then bottled in May and June, followed by bottle-ageing for about 8 months.

Available format: 0.75 l
Alcohol content 12%-14% by volume 
Straw yellow with pale green highlights.
Characteristic, complex nose: seductive, exotic fresh fruit 
with varietal notes of basil.
Smooth, fresh and pleasing on the palate with a lingering finish.

WHEN

Crisp and very “basaricò” when young, 
but exciting if you have the patience to keep it (for up to ten years).

HOW

Store in a dark, dry place at a constant temperature  below 20° C. Serve at between 8°-10° C in narrow-bowled, narrow-rimmed glasses to channel aromas towards the nose, to intensify perception and limit dispersio

CLASSIC PAIRING

A good match for light soups and more substantial vegetable potages. Fish baked in foil or tomato and mozzarella, 
both drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. All are perfect companions to this wine.

UNUSUAL PAIRING

As an aperitif with turmeric-flavoured, toasted hazelnuts, or raw prosciutto.
With artichokes–in salad or sautéed–unexpectedly satisfying.  Sublime with gnocchi al pesto.

Basaricò is the Piedmontese word for basil:

the aromas of our Sauvignon bring to mind 

the fragrant leaves of basil left to dry on the terrace by our grandmother
