Punset Neh! Langhe Rosso
Piedmont, Italy
Dolcetto, Barbera, and Nebbiolo
In the 1980s, when organic farming was barely a whisper in Italy, Marina Marcarino bet her family's legacy on a radical idea. Her conviction made history: Punset became the first organic certified Barbaresco producer, proving tradition and innovation could thrive together. Today, her vineyards—guided by biodynamics and Masanobu Fukuoka's natural philosophy—remain some of Italy's most vibrant, yielding wines that pulse with unfiltered terroir and vitality.
'Neh!'—named for Piedmont's signature slang (the verbal equivalent of a cheeky shrug)—is Marina's everyday masterpiece. A blend of Dolcetto, Barbera, and Nebbiolo, it bursts with black cherries, wild raspberries, and a whisper of sun-baked earth, while the palate delivers a wave of red currant coulis wrapped in a rustic, textured grip. Structured yet supple, it has enough acidity to dance alongside tomato-based pasta or a board of aged cheeses. Clean as a sun-dried linen sheet, with just enough earthiness to remind you it's grown in real dirt.
