This 2015 Barbaresco Fausoni, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, presents a complex and evolving profile. On the nose, expect classic Nebbiolo aromatics of red cherry, raspberry, and dried rose petals, interwoven with more savory notes of tar, leather, and forest floor. The specific Fausoni cru and the 2015 vintage suggest a wine with excellent concentration. The palate will reveal a full-bodied structure with firm, yet elegant tannins and vibrant acidity, true to its “trama leggermente rugosa” (slightly rough texture) description. Flavors will echo the aromatics, with ripe red fruits, licorice, and a long, spiced finish.
