Bruno Giacosa’s Barbaresco Asili is renowned for its elegance and complexity. The 2019 vintage, though young for a Barbaresco, would already show vibrant aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry, and crushed rose petals, intertwined with subtle hints of licorice, spice, and a characteristic tarry minerality. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a powerful yet refined structure, marked by high acidity and firm, persistent tannins that promise exceptional longevity. The finish is long, complex, and savory, often revealing evolving notes of dried herbs and forest floor with air.
