Expert Reviews
This Asili is a bracing Barbaresco of rare savouriness. Do not be deceived by the extremely pale ruby colour and the reserved nose. Aromas of rhubarb, whiffs of wild fowl, balsamic minerality and Parma violets are followed in the mouth by a firm, velvety attack of peony and earthy strawberry. It has integrated racy acidity and a savoury liquorice finish, with the grip of Nebbiolo. Great hallmark Asili.
With fruit from the village of Barbaresco, this is a lean and translucent wine with bright ruby and garnet highlights. The bouquet of the Carlo Giacosa 2018 Barbaresco Asili shows ripe fruit, with earthy notes, licorice and crushed flowers. It's all pretty standard for an Asili with a classic but accessible window onto the elegance of the site. This was a release of 1,904 bottles.
