Sottimano Barbaresco Fausoni

• Varietals: 100% Nebbiolo.

• Vineyards: As it is clearly evident in any map of the Barbaresco region, Fausoni is just located outside the town of Neive. Vines are approximately 45 years old.

• Winemaking: Fermentation and maceration on the skins normally takes about 25 days. No selected yeasts are used. The malolactic fermentation happens naturally in French barrels coopered expressively for us by Francois Frères in Burgundy. The wine stays in these barrels for approximately 24 months, half of this time on its lees. 15% of the barrels used for aging this wine are new, the remaining 85% have previously been used up to 4 times. There is no filtering and no fining
