The 2001 Barbaresco Fausoni is the most delicately nuanced, aromatic and seductive of the Sottimano Barbarescos, and shows aromas of mint, eucalyptus and spices, followed by a classic Nebbiolo palate of red fruits. It is also typically the earliest maturing of the wines. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2013.
