Faset
By Castello di Verduno, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Single-vineyard Barbaresco from the Faset hill, described on the page as a big Nebbiolo for picky eaters.
Tasting notes
Garnet red with slight orangey highlights. Fragrant nose of raspberries and violets, liquorice and juicy cherry. Nice texture and length, with just the right freshness and tannins.
