The 2020 Barbaresco Faset expresses a more amplified personality, with aromas of licorice, cracked peppercorn, leather, and raspberry liqueur. Angular and medium bodied, it has snappy notes of sour cherry and turned soil, with ripe tannins. I would hold off another 6-12 months and drink 2025-2037.

Pure and vibrant aromas of cranberry and wild strawberry lift from the glass as hints of thyme, forest floor and crushed chalk slowly surface. The palate's core is defined by the electric and vivid wild red-fruit flavors that zoom in and out of focus as savory and earth elements provide counterbalance while superfine tannins hold the wine together, finishing with a charm and finesse. Drink now–2035. — Jeff Porter

Wild flowers and red summer berries on the nose, smells expressive and lively, open and appealing. Bright and shining in the glass, clear and clean, this is direct and sleek with a scintillating acidity that stays the right side of being too sharp. Tannins come in pretty quickly and just shut down the fruit persistence at this point but they're well integrated with a juicy, sapidity as well as firmness that gives the overall life, structured and frame. Cheerful and characterful with a really gorgeous freshly-picked strawberry acidity and lovely lick of wet stone, graphite salinity that gives the chalky, tongue scraping feeling towards the end. I like this a lot. (Drink between 2024-2034)

Very attractive with dried cherries and raspberries as well as dried roses, nut shell and spice box. Medium-bodied. Vivid and dynamic palate with compact tannins that are velvety in texture. Lengthy and focused with an attractive fruit character. Try after two or three years.

The Michele Chiarlo 2020 Barbaresco Faset delivers a pretty ensemble of wild berry or raspberry aromas with rose, lavender bud, light cinnamon stick and licorice root. These various elements are well integrated and balanced, showing smoothly over a polished, mid-weight mouthfeel. - ML

The 2020 Barbaresco Faset is packed with wild cherry, mocha, new leather and sweet spice. This round, caressing Barbaresco offers tons of immediacy, making it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Lifted floral and spice-infused aromatics give this supple, silky Barbaresco plenty of appeal. - Antonio Galloni
