{"product_id":"sottimano-fausoni-barbaresco-italie","title":"Sottimano - Fausoni Barbaresco - 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginating from the hills of Neive, in the heart of the prestigious Barbaresco appellation in Piedmont, this wine comes from the Fausoni cru, a hillside vineyard with marl-limestone soils rich in clay and sand. Located at a moderate altitude and well-ventilated, the site benefits from favorable exposures that ensure slow and even ripening of the grapes. The Sottimano estate practices meticulous viticulture, prioritizing manual labor and respect for natural balances to precisely express the character of this Langhe terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed, and fermented in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, without temperature control, with a long maceration and gentle pump-overs. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally in barrels. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, mostly used, on its fine lees, without racking, for approximately two years, before being bottled without filtration or fining, in order to preserve the purest expression of the Fausoni terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003ered fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eblack cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eraspberry\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches reminiscent of rose and violet, as well as \u003cstrong\u003espicy\u003c\/strong\u003e nuances of licorice and pepper, underpinned by a light \u003cstrong\u003eoak\u003c\/strong\u003e and balsamic character.
