Wine Reviews

A tight, linear version, with cherry and raspberry fruit, plus tar, mineral and eucalyptus flavors wrapped in firm, fine-grained tannins. Though not very expressive, this feels balanced and persistent on the finish

Dark fruited and spice-driven, this Barbaresco reveals layers of complexity. Imagine sinking into the depths of ripe plum and blackberry, interwoven with allspice and clove, creating a tapestry of flavors. Each sip is a journey through a dense forest of flavors, with hints of rose and bay leaf lingering in the shadows, as fine, yet firm, tannins hold the wine in place waiting for a bit more time.

Pure and vibrant aromas of cranberry and wild strawberry lift from the glass as hints of thyme, forest floor and crushed chalk slowly surface. The palate’s core is defined by the electric and vivid wild red-fruit flavors that zoom in and out of focus as savory and earth elements provide counterbalance while superfine tannins hold the wine together, finishing with a charm and finesse.

The 2020 Barbaresco Faset is packed with wild cherry, mocha, new leather and sweet spice. This round, caressing Barbaresco offers tons of immediacy, making it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Lifted floral and spice-infused aromatics give this supple, silky Barbaresco plenty of appeal.

Iron and rust to the orange citrus, mineral, nutmeg and berries. Transparent yet vertical on the palate with chewy tannins and an expressive finish. Fine austerity here
