Translucent purple colour with a fresh, garnet-red rim. The bouquet is a potpourri of dried fruit, truffles, dark chocolate and delicate nougat notes. Opens on the palate with a fruity, velvety flavour and will continue to delight for many years to come with its straightforwardness and wonderfully integrated acidity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Straight, medium ruby red colour. Mineral and stony notes over slumbering raspberry fruit. Embryonic fruit on the palate with a firm core of tannins. Elegant yet with a certain power." Jancis Robinson

"Incense, warm spices and liquorice roots dance with savoury and dried roses, forcing you to look twice at this Barbaresco. High-toned red berry fruit plays a supporting role to the seductive savoury and spice flavours that add a mysterious accent. The fullness of the mouth reveals macerated black cherries, crushed pepper, crushed bay leaf and dried porcini mushrooms. The initially assertive tannins soften and emphasise the elegance of the wine." Wine Enthusiast

"Offering macerated cherry and kirsch notes, this effusive red features plenty of red fruit, rose hip, eucalyptus and light tar flavors. Firms up nicely, leaving a chalky feel on the long finish. Offers a refined texture, with great harmony and intensity." Wine Spectator

"The Barbaresco Fausoni 2021 is a wine for those who appreciate the more straightforward, old-school Nebbiolo style. Chalk, white pepper, mint, tobacco, cedar, blood orange and sweet red cherry fruit race across the palate. The 2021 won't be ready anytime soon, but it's an absolutely outstanding wine in the making." Vinous
