Barbaresco Fausoni comes from the Fausoni cru, one of the sixty-six officially recognized MGA vineyards of Barbaresco DOCG, on a south-west-facing slope west of Neive at 260 meters elevation. Aromas of bramble, redcurrant, nutmeg, dried blackberry and forest floor lead to a deep, complex wine, matured 24 months in French oak — 70% in large old barrels and 30% in new barriques — capable of aging 15 to 20 years.
Fausoni's 24-month oak regime and 15-20 year aging potential mark it as Francone's most patient, most rewarding Barbaresco.
