The 2001 Barbaresco Faset, from an unjustly obscure vineyard located right next to Asili, leaves few doubts about its stature. Elegant and smoky aromas of tar, roses, and cinnamon are followed by a firm and shapely palate, a solid finish with ample notes of chocolate and licorice, and an important persistence. Drink: 2005-2017. Various American importers, including Frederick Wildman, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700
