2017 Barbaresco Faset, Roagna

2017 Barbaresco Faset, Roagna

So mineral and deep, this balances a charming bitterness with lots of citrus fruit and also a core of very fresh fruit. This always reminds us of Negronis (in a very good way) and the 2017 is no different. Don’t be afraid to age this.

Tasting notes

The 2017 Barbaresco Faset is open-knit, gracious and quite pretty. Sweet dried cherry, incense, tobacco, mint and dried flowers are all nicely lifted in this attractive, mid-weight Barbaresco. Hints of cedar, tobacco, incense and dried flowers add aromatic presence and lift throughout. The Faset is another wine in this range that will drink well with minimal cellaring.
