Asili represents one of the most important and celebrated single vineyards of Barbaresco – a magical combination of muscle and refinement. Bruno Giacosa purchased vineyards in Asili in the 1980s, which now total 2.5 hectares.
This 2019 is a seriously exciting vintage. Boasting noteworthy power and persuasive elegance, the 2019 has pure, crystalline palate with a silky but firm body. Notes of raspberry and wild strawberry with floral tones are found on the nose. On the palate, good structure is matched with freshness of fruit and fine tannins. Drink 2024-2034.
