The estate and the wine |
|
|
Driven by an unwavering pursuit of excellence and authenticity, the Sottimano family crafts wines of remarkable finesse in Piedmont, built to age beautifully. These Red treasures, both sincere and full-bodied, showcase the pedigree of Italy’s greatest terroirs, particularly those of Barbaresco and Barbera.
Generous, passionate, and deeply inspired by Burgundy with its precision and refinement, the Sottimano family brings out the nobility of local grape varieties, capturing the natural elegance of this outstanding region. Single-vineyard vinification, organic farming, and impeccable aging all stand as proof of the estate’s mastery.
Today, it ranks among the very best estates in Barbaresco, with wines that recall the legendary finesse of Burgundy at its peak. |

The 2020 Red Barbaresco Fausoni captures the essence of its soil with a strikingly mineral character, lifted aromas of flowers and a touch of smoke. Despite the warmth of the vintage, it keeps its freshness and delicacy, unfolding in a beautifully nuanced style. It inevitably brings to mind the great Pinot Noirs of Burgundy. This is a wine to cellar, giving it time to refine so you can enjoy it at its peak. Rated 93/100 by Parker. |
