This is Nebbiolo with everything in place — perfume, power and the poise to age for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePunset, based in Neive, was one of the first estates in the region to farm organically, a conviction Marina Marcarino has held to since the 1980s. Campo Quadro is their top single-vineyard cru, and the Riserva bottling means extended ageing before release. The 2016 growing season was near-perfect — a long, even ripening that gave wines of both concentration and freshness, and this bottle captures that balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect a translucent garnet and a spellbinding nose: dried rose, red cherry, tar, liquorice, sweet tobacco and a savoury note of truffle and forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied but intense, with the firm, fine-grained tannins that mark serious Nebbiolo and a long, mineral, savoury finish. There is real complexity here, unfolding slowly in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApproachable now with a generous decant, but this is built to reward patience — it will keep evolving for fifteen years or more. At around £70 for a top-cru Riserva from the great 2016 vintage, it is a compelling buy for anyone who loves this grape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 16-18°C in a large Burgundy glass. Decant two hours ahead when young; the aromatics reward the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSartoria on Savile Row for a refined Piedmontese dinner. Bocca di Lupo in Soho for regional plates. Locanda Locatelli in Marylebone for an occasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe with truffle risotto or slow-braised beef cheek, where its savoury depth truly sings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56963877208388,"sku":"HO32101B16","price":69.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/HO36401B16.png?v=1784038891","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/barbaresco-riserva-san-cristoforo-campo-quadro-punset-2016-75cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
