      The Faset Barbaresco is the closest wine in David’s bottlings to Barolo in style. 2019 was the first year David has bottled Faset as a single Cru. David describes Faset as having an ‘unparalleled richness’, a trait shared due to the similar soils with Asili, Rabaja and Rio Sordo; "Faset has the densest biggest structure of the Cru’s I make, more Barolo than Barbaresco.”

      In the review tasting of the three wines this Cru definitely has the most fruit and density to the wine, highly aromatic, so much classic tar and roses in this wine. Faset is on the same soil as Roncaglie but is just slightly cooler, and usually picked later than Roncaglie.

      This wine is 100% destemmed. Open ferment. Pressed to barrel. Elevage in old oak, over 10 years old, 300ltr barrels. Barbaresco can only be released on the 3rd January following harvest, giving the wine approx. 27 months total aging. David ages his wines for 24 months in barrel (legally it only needs be 12 as a minimum) then 3 months in bottle.

      The 2021 vintage is one that will likely go down as better in Barbaresco. It was overall a very drought but not hot vintage; and while it was rainy in France and Germany, in Piedmont’s Langa it was actually less rainy but colder than usual. Otherwise, the 2021 vintage was a year of good production as opposed to 2019 (very classic wines), and 2020 (wines with more fruit but less acidity than those of 2021). Fletcher asserts his 2021 wines have more structure than his 2020s, but all are equally fresh. The best of both worlds.

      Fletcher Barbaresco Faset 2021
      Fletcher

      David Fletcher’s journey to producing exceptional Nebbiolo began in 2004, when his passion for this iconic Italian grape led him to Italy. Immersing himself in the traditions of Barbaresco and Barolo, he honed his craft and dedication to Nebbiolo, ultimately creating Fletcher Wines to blend his love for Italian winemaking with Australia’s unique terroir. By 2012, Fletcher settled in Barbaresco, where he continues to produce wines that reflect both the best of Italian tradition and Australian innovation.

      Fletcher’s self-professed obsession with Nebbiolo has become the cornerstone of his winemaking philosophy. An Australian by birth, Fletcher’s journey to the Langhe hills of Piemonte was driven by an undeniable passion for Nebbiolo’s transcendent quality, and now, he calls Barbaresco home. Starting his winemaking career early, Fletcher didn’t inherit a winery or follow a family tradition—his passion for winemaking grew organically, alongside his love for the land and the grape variety he reveres. Today, Fletcher’s wines are a testament to his dedication, not only to Nebbiolo but to the unique expression it can have in both Italy and Australia. With the production of no more than 25,000 bottles annually, Fletcher Wines remains a highly sought-after, small-scale winery with a focus on quality over quantity. His ability to craft world-class Nebbiolo, alongside his expanding portfolio of wines, is a reflection of his ongoing commitment to pushing boundaries and continuing the exploration of this exceptional grape.

      Tasting notes

      NOSE
      Perfumed, Sweet red-fruit, Minerals

      Perfumed, sweet red-fruit nose with an undertow of minerals.

      PALATE
      Strawberry Fruit, Mineral, Elegant Palate Weight

      Minerally note over strawberry fruit. Still a little closed on the palate but the fruit is concentrated and it has a super-elegant palate weight.

      FINISH
      Nervy long Acid, Chewy Lingering Tannins, Classical

      Nervy long acidity and beautiful chewy tannins that last and last.
