leaving blackberry and cherry-cola notes behind

The 2010s are probably going through a difficult phase at the moment

but in 2015 its Cannubi from the village of Barolo seems even finer

All of the barrels selected for the Isabelle were new Francois Freres barrels

Guido Rivella, Barbaresco Fausoni Brut Zero leaving blackberry and cherry-cola notesThe 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
