Description

Sottimano Fausoni Organic Barbaresco DOCG 2019/2020/2021

Appellation: Barbaresco DOCG

Grape variety: Nebbiolo

Production zone: Neive

Standing out in the nose delicate aromas of fruits of the forest, balsamic and menthol notes which we also find on the palate wrapped in thick tannins. The finish is typically tasty and young.

Vinification: Meticulous selection of the grapes is followed by spontaneous alcoholic fermentation. After maceration on skins and also a period of submerged cap, the wine is racked into wood where malolactic fermentation is completed. In order to reach its full expressive potential, this wine rests in the bottle for about one more year.

AWARDS

Drinking Window 2026 – 2041. The 2019 Barbaresco Fausoni is a terrific example of the work that has been done here, especially over the last few years, to give the wines greater finesse. Deeply pitched aromatics meld into a huge core of fruit as this expressive, translucent Barbaresco opens. I admire the delineation and focus here. Bright red-toned fruit, white pepper, mint and chalk abound. There is tremendous purity of fruit here, while the balance is just stunning. Vinous 96/100 (Vintage 2019)

“Complex aromas of dried flowers with red fruit and orange peel. Some white truffle, too,as well as hazelnut. Medium-bodied with a solid core of slightly chewy tannins and a flavorful yet focused finish. Try this after 2025.”James Suckling 93/100 (Vintage 2019)

Drinking Window 2026 – 2045. The 2020 Barbaresco Fausoni is one of the most captivating wines I have ever tasted here. Bright, focused and vertical in bearing, the 2020 possesses tremendous intensity in all of its dimensions. Macerated red cherry, mint, white. Vinous 97/100 (Vintage 2020)

Dry and earthy with a reserved character. Notes of walnut, bark and red cherries in the background. Medium body. It’s linear and lengthy with firm and chalky tannins and a lightly chewy finish. Drink after 2025. James Suckling 94/100. (Vintage 2020)

Drinking Window 2026 – 2041. The 2021 Barbaresco Fausoni is bright, nervy and finely cut. Crushed rocks, white pepper, incense, red fruit, pink grapefruit and orange peel all scream out of the glass. Nervy and sinewy, with tons of top-end brightness, the Fausoni is a rock star. But it’s also a wine for readers who appreciated the more linear, classically austere style of Barbaresco. Vinous 96+/100 (Vintage 2021)
