Why We're Buying
The secret ingredient behind Barbaresco Fausoni? Time. The wine is the byproduct of 45-year-old vines, 40-day fermentation and maceration, and two years of aging. The result: arguably the best nebbiolo from Sottimano.

Wine Enthusiast
Enticing aromas of rose, iris, culinary spice and botanical herb take shape in the glass along with whiffs of crushed berry on this fragrant red. The focused, linear palate is still tightly wound and austere, offering juicy red cherry, star anise and thyme set against bright acidity and firm, close-grained tannins. It's loaded with nervous energy and needs time but already shows great class. Drink 2029–2044.
