Description / Reviews
Fausoni in Neive is based on a looser, sandy-calcareous soil - it is often the most elegant and floral on the nose, the palate is intense with dark raspberry and red plums. Very fine tannins and great length.
"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." - 96+ Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous
"Fausoni is a 1.5-hectare plot with old vines up to 70 years old in age. The Sottimano 2021 Barbaresco Fausoni delivers more oomph and texture thanks to clay and sandy soils that definitely make the difference. In terms of aromas, this wine is quite floral and delicate with citrusy oils, dates, tamarind and lavender. The tannins are elegant and chalky.” - 96 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker
