The Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Asili Riserva 2014 is a profound expression of Nebbiolo from a storied vintage. On the nose, it offers complex aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry, and rose petals, interwoven with classic Nebbiolo notes of licorice, tar, and hints of dried herbs and forest floor. The palate is powerful yet impeccably elegant, showcasing firm but refined tannins that provide structure, balanced by vibrant acidity. Flavors of red berry compote, spice, and mineral notes lead to an exceptionally long, savory finish. With age, expect tertiary notes of truffle, leather, and tobacco to emerge.
