SEARCH FOR WINE / PRODUCER:   Advanced Search           92Rating       REVIEW "The 2005 Barbaresco Fausoni is remarkably dense and fruit-driven in this vintage. Raspberries, flowers, menthol and sweet spices flow from this medium-bodied Barbaresco. The wine offers outstanding length and well-integrated tannins. A few years of bottle age should help the wine settle down a bit. Sottimano is one of the leading producers in Barbaresco. Readers should check out Issue 178 for value-priced wines from this estate, which has been on a roll for a few years. Simply put, there are few, if any, growers in Barbaresco that offer this level of consistency throughout their entire range. Sottimano’s 2005 Barbarescos have always shown superb balance. They are on average slightly fresher than the 2004s, with a touch less concentration, something that is very much in keeping with the qualities of the vintage." - Wine Advocate (Oct, 2008)     PRINTABLE VERSION | FACT SHEET | MORE PRESS   Other Reviews: Wine Spectator     Barbaresco, 'Fausoni', Sottimano   Producer: Azienda Agricrola Sottimano   Appellation: Barbaresco   Region: Piedmont   Country: Italy   Varietal: NEBBIOLO   Vintage: 2005                         BACK TO FACT SHEET
