This big boy demands patience
rustic and youthfully austere finale
The opulent yet powerful and focused full-bodied flavors flash evident muscle on the serious
There is a phenolic hint (think nut or olive oil) to the smoky mix of petrol
This is really quite pretty
Guido Rivella, Barbaresco Fausoni Vintage:2018 This big boy demands patienceThe 2016 Barbaresco Fausoni, here in its debut vintage, is powerful and dense, with tons of energy and plenty of reserve. Wild cherry, spice, menthol, licorice and dried herbs gradually reveal themselves, but ultimately, the 2016 is a Barbaresco that needs time to fully come together. Its promise and potential are both evident. Stylistically, the Fausoni is a bit austere, as wines from this Neive site tend to be. Antonio Galloni
