Sottimano’s 2003 Barbaresco Fausoni opens with a finessed, perfumed nose followed by notes of super-ripe red fruit and menthol on a medium-bodied frame that is somewhat overwhelmed by the late-arriving hard, unripe tannins. Owing to higher percentage of sand at Fausoni, this is the wine most adversely affected by the extreme heat of the vintage and it clearly lacks the balance of the best vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2015.
