Faset Barbaresco DOCG 2018

Winter brought regular weather conditions with heavy snow and a rainy Springtime. These conditions have been prosperous since it is aiding in restoring the depleted aquifers from the 2017 vintage when they were very little precipitation. The vegetative cycle began in a normal period. The excessive rains of May and the first half of June put a strain on the winemakers, who had to keep attentive watch, as it created the ideal conditions for blight. Nebbiolo clusters was abundant; we paid particular attention to green pruning and thinning of the bunches. This is a vintage with very varied qualitative results. Only the winemakers who meticulously managed the vineyards with particular attention to yields have produced truly excellent quality wine. From mid-June to August the climate was warm with scarce rainfall. From the end of August to the first half of September, we fortunately had particularly cool nights and warm days that allowed the development of intense and delicate aromas. The harvest took place during a regular time, if not slightly ahead, with perfectly healthy and ripe grapes. The Nebbiolo grapes reached an excellent physiological and phenolic maturation. The Barbaresco Wines have particularly intense aromas and excellent structure, they are certainly a great vintage.

Nose: ample and aristocrat, notes of black berry’s, ethereal, wet soil with elegant hint of minerals combined with fine spices. It has great structure, elegant and long silky tannins, marked minerality and dense texture.
