Drinkers and the producer agree on the Basarin signature: a garnet Nebbiolo from Neive with leather, tar and dried-mushroom depth over red cherry, lifted by Angelo Negro's 26 months in Slavonian oak botti.
Classic garnet Nebbiolo aromatics lead with dried rose and violet over red cherry, the producer's calcareous-marly Basarin fruit showing tar and a Neive undergrowth note. Vivino drinkers most often reach for leather, tar and dried mushroom, with tobacco and vanilla from 26 months in Slavonian oak.

LiquoriceMedium-bodied and elegant rather than heavy, with the fine, slightly grippy tannin Angelo Negro builds without excess. Red cherry and raspberry sit against liquorice and black pepper spice, the warm 2022 vintage rounding the structure earlier than a cool year would.
Long and savoury, closing on dried herb, tobacco and the mentholated lift the producer flags on the standard Basarin.
A traditional single-cru Barbaresco that drinkers rate 4.0 on Vivino across 2,600-plus ratings, with Bibenda's four grapes for the 2022. Built for Piedmont's table now and over the next decade, it suits buyers who want Neive Nebbiolo without a flagship cru price.
Two UK merchants currently list the 2022 Basarin, a single-cru Barbaresco that Angelo Negro releases at around £41 to £44 a bottle.
Six dimensions rate this Barbaresco for food, value, ageing and occasion, set against its £40-plus single-cru positioning.
High acidity and fine tannin make Barbaresco a great food red, built for Piedmont braises, truffle pasta and aged cheese.
A single-cru Barbaresco DOCG carries real occasion weight, an elegant Langhe red for a special table without a top-cru price.
Barbaresco DOCG ageing, fine Nebbiolo tannin and the producer's 10-to-15-year guidance support a decade or more in bottle.
At about £41 to £44 for a single-cru Barbaresco with 26 months in oak, the Basarin sits below the appellation's flagship crus.
Authentic Nebbiolo, but firm tannin, high acidity and a savoury tar-and-leather profile reward some experience over a first taste.
A structured £40-plus Barbaresco for considered meals, not a midweek pour; the tannin and price argue against everyday drinking.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.
A compact view of what the Barbaresco denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
2022 was a hot, dry growing season across the Langhe, giving the Basarin riper fruit and rounder tannins than the cooler 2021, ready earlier but built to hold.
2022 brought a hot, dry summer to the Langhe, ripening Nebbiolo to softer, rounder tannins than the classic 2021. Angelo Negro's Basarin from this vintage drinks well from around 2026 and should hold into the mid-2030s.

Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
The Basarin name marks a specific cru in Neive, hand-harvested at 350 metres and aged 26 months in Slavonian oak, the work behind a mid-£40s Barbaresco DOCG.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Barbaresco is in the DOCG tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Barbaresco falls within Piedmont, covering Cuneo, Langhe: Barbaresco, Neive, Treiso and Alba's San Rocco Seno d'Elvio fraction. The denomination is further divided into 4 sub-zones.

Producer: Azienda Agricola Negro Angelo & Figli, Monteu Roero. Directions
Wine route in the zone: Langhe Nebbiolo Route.
The wine is one Barbaresco cru, not a zone blend; Nebbiolo hand-picked from Angelo Negro's south-facing Basarin parcel at 350 metres carries a vineyard premium over basic Langhe Nebbiolo.
Angelo Negro holds the Basarin 26 months between large Slavonian oak casks and bottle, well beyond entry level, tying up cellar space and stock for over two years before sale.
Barbaresco DOCG caps vineyard yield and mandates at least 24 months ageing with a release tasting, all of which lift the cost base versus an unregulated red.
A minimum 15-to-18-day maceration on a floating cap plus old-cask ageing favour patience over volume, the classic Langhe method behind the wine's fine tannin.
UK alcohol duty of £2.67 a bottle on still wine up to 15% ABV plus 20% VAT account for roughly £9 of a £42 shelf price before the retailer's margin.
Basarin trades under Barbaresco's most famous crus and Angelo Negro's own Riserva, so buyers reach single-cru DOCG Nebbiolo here for mid-£40s rather than £70-plus.
High Nebbiolo acidity and fine, grippy tannin make the Basarin a match for Piedmont's own table, from brasato al Barolo to tajarin with truffle.
Nebbiolo's firm tannin needs protein and fat to soften. A slow brasato, simmered in red wine until the meat collapses, melts the Basarin's grip and lets its red-cherry fruit through.
Try with: Brasato al Barolo · Bollito dei Pastori · Ossobuco alla Milanese · More pairings →
High Nebbiolo acidity cuts through egg pasta dressed in butter and grated truffle, while the wine's tar and undergrowth notes echo the truffle's earthiness.
Try with: Tajarin al Tartufo · Agnolotti del Plin · Truffle risotto · More pairings →
The Basarin's dried-mushroom and undergrowth aromatics, the note Vivino drinkers flag most, bridge straight to porcini and autumn mushroom cooking from the same Langhe hills.
Try with: Porcini mushroom risotto · Truffle risotto · Tajarin al Tartufo · More pairings →
Medium body and savoury length stand up to aged Piedmont cheeses without being flattened; the wine's acidity refreshes the palate between rich, crystalline bites.
Try with: Castelmagno · aged Toma · Parmigiano Reggiano · Gorgonzola
Venison, hare and roast birds bring the savoury, faintly gamey flavours Nebbiolo loves; the Basarin's tannin and acidity frame the meat while its dried-herb finish lengthens it.
Try with: Roast venison · Braised hare · Bollito dei Pastori · More pairings →
Nebbiolo's tannin and alcohol amplify chilli heat and clash with sugar, so the Basarin fights fiery or sweet-sour cooking. Save it for savoury, umami-rich plates instead.
Skip with: Vindaloo · sweet-and-sour pork · nam prik · gochujang stew · Pairing guide →
Angelo Negro states the Basarin keeps more than ten years stored on its side; the 2022's structure supports drinking from around 2026 through the mid-2030s.
Peak around 2030. For the main offer above.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
Barbaresco DOCG ageing, fine Nebbiolo tannin and the producer's 10-to-15-year guidance support a decade or more in bottle.
£33.00 for a 75cl bottle of the 2022, at XtraWine, is the best price we track, and we have no signal of further discounting.
