The Fausoni is usually one of the lighter-weight Barbarescos here, but not in 2007. Dark red fruit, crushed flowers, licorice and sweet baking spices come together beautifully in this ripe, sensual Barbaresco. There is a wonderful richness to the fruit that virtually covers the tannins, all while avoiding any sense of heaviness. Simply put, the Fausoni is an overachiever in this vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027. Sottimano’s 2007 Barbareschi have been impressive every time I have tasted them, starting from barrel a few years ago, to two tastings from bottle in recent months.

A youthful version, with some oak tannins that need to be resolved. Cherry and spice notes, as well as a hint of licorice, are buried and there's a hard edge on the finish. Dry, featuring a mineral aftertaste. Best from 2014 through 2022. 420 cases made, 170 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add
