BasBas Kulma Wine List
About BasBas Kulma
The younger sibling of BasBas, situated downstairs, has been extended from a small natural wine bar to a fully-operational restaurant and is one of the trendiest places in Helsinki. The wine offering also plays the role of little brother or sister to the BasBas wine list, taking quirkier paths to places less explored, while not forgetting the classics.
The long line of bar stools helps to seat walk-ins and the char-grill adds depth and flavour to dishes that embrace the wines being poured. Skin contact and low sulphite wines fulfil the expectations of those who want to venture into something different, while the long list of small producer wines also has many options for more classical tastes.

BasBas Kulma proudly follows in the footsteps of its neighbour and big sister, Baskeri & Basso (BasBas). It is a neighbourhood joint serving exquisite simple tastes and delicious artisanal wines in a warm, unassuming bistro atmosphere. Serving sizzled meat, seafood and vegetables on their charcoal grill, pairing them with various condiments and tasty side dishes. Their starters are comfortably simple, bread freshly baked and tasty desserts.
BasBas Kulma’s wine list is based on low intervention wines. With sommelier Alice Järvinen at the lead, the staff has created a list with a variety of interesting wines from winemakers they all know and love. From elegant to experimental, from classically stylish to outrageously daring, BasBas Kulma’s wines are simply enjoyable.

A stunning wine list both visually and in terms of its content. The layout and font contribute to a sensation of flow that reveals page by page a rather modern selection driven by sustainability and punctuated by the timeless elegance of some of the great classical wines of Europe, says Julie Dupouy-Young when BasBas Kulma won Special Jury Prize 2023.
