Antonio Galloni, October 2021, Score: 93
The 2016 Barbaresco Faset gives the impression of being the most accessible of the 2016 Barbarescos, but only in relative terms, as it, too, is pretty tannic. Kirsch, sweet tobacco, cedar, dried flowers and anise open gradually over time. The Faset requires patience, but it should open a bit earlier than the rest of the 2016s. Drink 2026-2041.
Region
Piedmont
Piedmont is located in the north western corner of Italy. Though several grape varieties are prominent such as Dolcetto, Barbera and Moscato, it is Nebbiolo that reigns supreme. It produces wines that are not particularly deep in colour, yet they are perfumed, powerful and can age for many years. Due to the ethereal nature of the Nebbiolo grape and the numerous single vineyard wines, many compare top examples to grand cru Burgundies of the Côte de Nuits.Mountainous, its vineyards are cut into the hillsides forming terraces reminiscent of the Mosel Valley in Germany and the northern Rhone Valley in France. The two most notable appellations are Barolo and Barbaresco.
