Barbaresco Faset

Good lord, this is stunning. Even from mediocre glasses, it shows off beautifully. Opens gradually - barnyard funk at first, then these properly seductive red berries push through, red flowers too, the whole nose turns perfumed. Touch of earth, little mushrooms, everything so pretty. Yes, it's still charged with energy, but it's already such a pleasure to drink. Proper nebbiolo grip wrapped in this beautiful feminine character. This is what modern Barbaresco should be about.

This wine is beautifully packed and quite concentrated, yet it maintains a delicate and careful profile. It offers an array of red fruits, underbrush, compote, mushrooms, and a touch of barnyard on the nose. The palate is marked by great concentration, delivering a long and beautiful finish. Delicate and beautiful. Although the tannins are somewhat tight and suggest the wine needs more time to fully mature, it is already a captivating experience.
