Description
BRUNO GIACOSA BARBARESCO ASILI showcases the classic characteristics of the Piedmont region in Italy. This wine features aromas of ripe cherries, dried flowers, and hints of spice, with a well-structured tannic profile that reflects the Nebbiolo grape's potential. The wine exhibits a balanced acidity and a long finish, highlighting its terroir's finesse.
This Barbaresco pairs excellently with rich dishes such as braised meats, truffle risotto, and aged cheeses. Consider serving it alongside mushroom-based dishes or hearty pasta with tomato sauce for an enhanced dining experience.
Expert Reviews
Very classy and perfumed, with ripe strawberries, spice, cedar, sandalwood and iron shavings that follow through to a medium body with extremely long and pointed tannins that go on and on. Lightly chewy at the end. Racy Asili. Hard not to drink now. Best after 2029.
The Bruno Giacosa 2022 Barbaresco Asili is hitting the market now. It was bottled on the 15th of July, 2024. This elegant wine shows the finely tuned and nuanced essence of Asili with its fine soils. It opens to a bright ruby color and delivers chalky tannins that retain their tension and grippy feel. On the close, you get hints of violets and blue flower. This is a very terroir-driven wine, but it needs more time in bottle to fully express itself. There will be a red label, or Riserva, made in 2020 to be released later this year (that I have reviewed here). A 2021 Riserva will be released in 2026. If Bruna Giacosa (daughter of the late Bruno Giacosa) makes a red label, the white label is not produced.
