Barbaresco, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
The 2016 Barbaresco Fausoni is another superb wine in this lineup of 2016 Barbarescos from the Sottimano family. Bright floral and citrus overtones give the 2016 a vibrant, chiseled feel. Sweet red/purplish berry fruit, blood orange, spice, menthol rose petal and lavender are some of the many notes that flesh out in this super-expressive, mid-weight Barbaresco from Sottimano. Aromatically lifted, dense on the palate and also very structured, the 2016 is a very complete Fausoni. The 2016 finishes with tremendous persistence and a classic sense of austerity that is compelling. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2019)

Modern but typicity still shines through. Ripe but not OTT. Very good.

My first Nebbiolo! Very dry, smoky and almost leathery flavors. Interesting and very good.

Berries with deep tannin. This could stay unopened for another decade, and should not have been opened.
