4.3
Absolute banger and easily the wine of the day. Subtly perfumed with delicate red flowers, raspberry candy, and a hint of wet earth - seductive in the quietest, most assured way. The palate is silky and juicy, gliding along with effortless balance. Warm, but never heavy, and the finish just won't let go. It doesn't scream, it whispers - and somehow that's even more compelling.
About
Barbaresco Faset is produced entirely from Nebbiolo grapes, sourced from the Faset Cru in the Barbaresco municipality. The vineyard is situated at an altitude ranging between 250 to 270 meters above sea level, with a south-west exposure that facilitates optimal sunlight interception. The soil composition primarily consists of Sant'Agata marls, with significant proportions of limestone and clay, contributing to the distinctive terroir expression of the wine.
The fermentation process spans 15 to 20 days, conducted in stainless steel tanks with temperature meticulously controlled to ensure a conducive environment for the yeast activity. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for approximately 12 months. For the 2018 and 2019 vintages, neutral French oak barriques were employed for aging, while from the 2020 vintage onwards, the aging process transitioned to French barrels. This wine's journey commenced with its first vintage produced in 2018, showcasing the meticulous viticultural and oenological practices employed in its production.
