This 2016 Barbaresco Fausoni showcases classic Nebbiolo characteristics. On the nose, expect intense aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry, and plum, intertwined with floral notes of rose and violet, and tertiary hints of tar, licorice, and damp earth. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, with firm yet elegant tannins, balanced by vibrant acidity. Flavors mirror the nose, offering a complex blend of red fruits, spicy undertones, and a mineral edge, leading to a long, persistent finish with notes of licorice and a savory grip.
