2007 BARBARESCO Fausoni Sottimano
| Grapes: Nebbiolo | Origin: Italy, Piedmont |
Lea & Sandeman review
The Fausoni 'cru' produces wines with a fine balance of elegance, bouquet and concentration. Licorice, mint and balsam. The 2007 is high toned, finely textured, concentrated and has fabulous length.Other reviews and comments
Aromas of sweet berry and blueberry open up to hints of spices. Full bodied, with velvety tannins and a long chewy finish. Still needs time to mellow. Pull the cork after 2014
92/100

The Fausoni is usually one of the lighter-weight Barbarescos here, but not in 2007. Dark red fruit, crushed flowers, licorice and sweet baking spices come together beautifully in this ripe, sensual Barbaresco. There is a wonderful richness to the fruit that virtually covers the tannins, all while avoiding any sense of heaviness. Simply put, the Fausoni is an overachiever in this vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027.
92/100
