Organic/Bio From 45 year-old vines just outside the town of Neive on clay/sand soils, Fausoni is always the most darkly fruited wine from Sottimano. But "dark" doesn't equal "heavy" or "overpowered" here. Something like "darkly elegant" might fit. Lovely wine of huge potential.
"The 2020 Barbaresco Fausoni takes all the elegance of the 2019 and turns up the dial one more notch. Deep and explosive, the 2020captures all the best this vintage had to off er. Arush of dark red fruit, blood orange, spice, menthol, salt, lavender and rose petal builds as the 2020 saturates every corner of the palate. Here, too, the balance of fruit, acid and tannin is simply masterful. Drink 2026-2039"
"The darkest-fruited of all the wines presented by Sottimano, the 2020 Barbaresco Fausoni is from 50-year-old vines grown at the lowest elevation of the estate (220 to 240 meters). The wine is generous with aromas of blackberry, lavender, and candied licorice. Full-bodied and ripe with ample tannins, it is expansive with red and black raspberry, tea leaf, and turned soil. It has wonderful depth without being heavy, with a seamless structure. It will benefit from another year in bottle before drinking over the coming 10-15 years."
