Sottimano
Fausoni Barbaresco Nebbiolo
Last had 2 years ago. Really in a great place now with a quick decant. Great acid and a lovely finish with great earth and good dark fruit. Delicious.

Oct 8th, 2023Very nice. Have had a couple bottles of this. With a 3 hour plus decant this really is delicious. Maybe ever so slightly hot but a classic and quite giving nebbiolo.

Sep 25th, 2021Very nice barbaresco. I think the last bottle we had was about a year ago. Decanted 4 hours this time, which was a good decision. Still think the peak window will be in 3-5 years. But classically nebbiolo and barbaresco in a way that you just can’t miss.

Aug 23rd, 2021Very nice but would suggest trying again in at least 2-3 years. Even after decanting for 2+ hours the tannins are just a bit too tight. But it has the makings of a beautiful wine - lots of cherry, excellent mouthfeel, great acid, long finish.

Oct 7th, 2020Cherry and oak. Well balanced, hot on the cheek. A unique gumminess that can take over the flavor if you don't take your time drinking it.

Mar 24th, 2020Brambly yet refined... enjoyed this with ramp pizza and agretti orchiette and the acidity and tannins held up so well to the food... I think we could have held on a while longer but it was drinking beautifully

Feb 27th, 2017Delicious, full of currant and pomegranate flavors with their balance of acid and sweet and a bit of grip. Very refreshing and easy to drink and a beautiful bloom.
