This Langhe Nebbiolo, labeled 'I Patriarchi', is made from 15-year-old vines in Francone's Barbaresco Fausoni vineyard, crafted by winemaker Fabrizio Francone in a style reminiscent of decades past. It offers the full Nebbiolo experience in a lighter frame: silky tannins, notes of liquorice, rose petals and spice.
This is Nebbiolo without the wait — the Fausoni cru character shows through in a wine ready to enjoy now.
