Women in Wine

Juicy & Fresh

While the vineyards that form Punset have been farmed by the Marcarino family for generations, it is truly thanks to Marina and her incredible energy that the estate is how it is nowadays. Her passion for the soil and the environment led her to embrace biodynamics and the agronomic philosophy of Manasobu Fukuoka. From one of the healthiest vineyards in Italy, Marina crafts wines that brim with life, energy, and pure terroir.

This red is called 'Neh! after a popular Piedmontese slang used to finish a sentence, similar to  'eh. It is a blend of Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo, the local red grapes in Piedmont.  This wine has deep fruity aromas with red summer fruits, like black cherry, strawberries and raspberries. The colour is dark ruby and the wine shows good structure, acidity and medium body with a distinct earthiness.

Punset Neh! is an everyday wine, perfect with all kinds of food and even by itself. Uncork this bottle any time and enjoy it!

Floral & Subtle

Cascina Castlèt has belonged to the Borio family for generations; Mariuccia, the current owner, inherited it from her father in 1970. Mariuccia focuses on her terroir and the local varieties.

The vineyards of the estate are spread over 31 hectares, and are all located in Costigliole d'Asti. The clusters of Barbera were hand-harvested and unveil a rather aromatic wine with a crunchy fruitiness. The wine evokes blackberry and cherry on a delicately floral background. Balanced and delectable, there is even a subtle note of minerality.

A wine that will pair perfectly with white and red grilled meats, salami and young cheeses.

Heirloom Vineyards was founded in 2000 by Elena, a young winemaking student, and Zar, an eccentric wine judge, whose shared passion for wine—and their ensuing love story—became the foundation of the project. Through years of careful experimentation, they focused on cultivating the finest varietal clones under optimal conditions, guided by organic farming principles and a commitment to preserving old-world traditions for future generations. Today, Heirloom crafts wines from select South Australian vineyards, employing minimal intervention, highlighting provenance, purity of fruit, and expert winemaking to deliver benchmark-quality wines that offer exceptional value.

Sourced from hand-tended, old-vine Shiraz grown in the neighbouring vineyards of the McMurtrie Family in McLaren Vale, this wine opens with a layered bouquet of shaved white and liqueur chocolate, fresh herbs, fennel, and anise, complemented by ripe plums, dried fruits, and a symphony of freshly ground peppercorns—green, black, pink, and white. Subtle oak notes, reminiscent of molasses, linger in the background. On the palate, it begins velvet-like, then unfolds with a lush, plush texture and finely grained tannins. A long loop of flavours—from red and black currant to raisin, black olive, and tawny port—culminates in a dry, peppery, and savoury finish, delivering a full-bodied, mouth-filling, and enduring experience.

Named after the Piedmontese dialect term Punset, meaning “beautiful hill” or “point,” this historic estate in Neive was once noted by the Counts of Castelborgo for rising above the region’s autumn mists. Family-owned for generations, the winery officially began bottling commercially in 1964 under Renzo Marcarino, before Marina Marcarino led its transformative shift to certified organic farming in the early 1980s. Today, guided by biodynamic principles and a deep respect for natural balance, the estate is known for its minimally interventionist approach, grass-covered vineyards, and thriving biodiversity that work in harmony with the surrounding ecosystem.

Produced from a 1-hectare parcel in the San Cristoforo cru, Punset’s Campo Quadro Riserva sits alongside the estate’s Basarin Riserva, though the two are vinified in distinct styles.

In the glass, it shows an elegant, structured profile with an intense colour and a complex aromatic range that unfolds from ripe fruit to more delicate floral tones, layered with spice, chocolate and subtle buttery notes. It evolves continuously with air, offering persistent, layered drinking pleasure. A highly complex and refined Barbaresco, it promises excellent longevity and will reward careful cellaring.
