Punset

Italy, Neive

The Punset farm is located in Neive, in the heart of the Langhe in Piedmont, perched atop a hill overlooking the former capital. Its name, drawn from the Piedmontese dialect, has an almost legendary origin: in the past, the Counts of Castelborgo used the word “Punset” — meaning “beautiful hill” — to describe these lands rising above the autumn mists and visible from their castles. In the heart of Barbaresco, the Punset estate has embodied a pioneering vision of wine for over forty years. Driven by Marina Marcarino — an agronomist and true trailblazer — the estate became, as early as the 1980s, the first vineyard in Italy to obtain organic certification. Guided by observation, intuition, and an unwavering respect for natural balance, Marina introduced a free‑spirited and committed approach in a region that was, at the time, deeply conservative. Today, Punset spans around thirty hectares and produces precise, vibrant wines deeply rooted in their terroir, with a remarkable expression of the great Piedmontese varieties — especially its Barbaresco from historic parcels. Here, organic farming is not a trend but a technical and philosophical commitment, serving wines that are pure, alive, and built to last. A leading figure in the Langhe, Marina continues to champion an independent, forward‑looking viticulture. Punset is the rare alliance of authenticity, energy, and vision. The current range is sharp and expressive, shaped by wines that are energetic, clean, and built for longevity. And the name “Punset,” taken from the local dialect, refers to the rounded hill once admired by the counts of Neive from their castle — a simple, rooted image that mirrors Marina’s work.
