2012 La Spinona Barbaresco Bricco Faset - 92 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"The 2012 Barbaresco Bricco Fasét hits the palate with a burst of sweet dark cherry, plum, tobacco, licorice, leather and smoke. Burly and virile in style, the 2012 offers plenty of depth and intensity. I would prefer to give this strapping Barbaresco another few years in bottle to shed some tannin. The Barbaresco Bricco Fasét is a classic La Spinona wine."

james suckling hq logo plain"This is extremely perfumed and savory. Hints of porcini mushrooms and berries with chocolate character. It’s full-bodied with medium chewy tannins and a pretty finish. Best ever. Better after 2023."

2016 La Spinona Barbaresco Bricco Faset - 93 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"La Spinona’s 2016 Barbaresco Bricco Faset opens with scents of wild black cherry, cloves, licorice, leather, menthol and sage. A dark, mysterious wine, the Bricco Faset has much to offer. Round contours and silky tannins add to its considerable immediacy and overall appeal. This old school-leaning Barbaresco can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring or aged for 7-10 years, maybe more."

2016 La Spinona Barbaresco Bricco Faset - 95 PTS - WE

wine enthusiast 95 pts"Fragrant aromas of purple flower, herbs and new leather come to the forefront alongside a whiff of tilled earth. Taut and loaded with youthful tension, the delicious, focused palate features juicy red cherry, strawberry compote, star anise and baking spice. Fine-grained tannins lend finesse while bright acidity keeps it balanced and vibrant. Drink 2022–2031. - KERIN O’KEEFE"

2019 La Spinona Barbaresco Bricco Faset - 94 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"The 2019 Barbaresco Bricco Fasèt is a very pretty and expressive wine. Dark and mysterious, with tons of nuance, the Bricco Fasèt has so much to offer. Dark fruit, leather, licorice, tobacco and scorched earth add to an impression of somber intensity, and yet the 2019 remains relatively light on its feet for such a powerful wine. There's a lot to explore here. The big, substantial finish is notable."
