Sourced from the historic Asili vineyard, the Asili Riserva is a great example of how Nebbiolo’s potential is not just limited to Barolo. The vineyard’s calcareous limestone soils and continental climate ensure the grapes that grow there have enough acidity at harvest to age and develop in bottle. The long maceration period (around 28 days) and 36 months spent in large oak botti give the wine its power, texture, and intense flavour.

On the palate, this is everything you would expect from such a well-made Barbaresco: notes of red cherry, strawberry, and violets give way to silky tannins so well balanced as to be almost imperceptible.

“The 2021 Barbaresco Riserva Asili is an alluring beauty that melds together the signatures of this site with the structure of the year at this address. Floral, bright and bursting with energy, the Asili is a star. Blood orange, kirsch, red-toned fruit, cedar, mint and spice rush from the glass. Here, too, readers will have to be patient. This is pure and total sensuality.”

“The graceful elegance of the Asili vineyard is apparent here, with wild strawberries, red currants, fresh and dried flowers, watermelon and restrained depth. Full-bodied, dense and powerful. Very chewy and vibrant, tense and tight, with a long, sleek finish and fine-grained tannins. March 2026 release. Drink or hold.”
