Estate History: “Punset” derives from Piedmontese dialect and has a legendary origin: it seems that historically the Count of Neive gave this nickname, which literally means “beautiful hill” or “peak”, to describe the only of their lands emerging by the autumn fog they could admire from the castle. The vineyards have been owned by the Marcarino family since distant times and it is difficult to trace the beginnings of wine-making. In the past the production of wine was limited to meeting the needs of family consumption. Renzo Marcarino, in 1964, officially begins the activity by placing the first bottles on the market.
At the beginning of the 1980's a decisive step, desired and pursued by his daughter Marina, marked the turning point by converting all of property to organic farming and eliminating all types of pesticide and chemical products.
