Tasting notes
The 2015 Barbaresco Asili is a very pretty, sensual wine. Floral aromatics, silky fruit, hard candy, mint and sweet red berries are all woven together. Expressive and open-knit, with plenty of the vintage's raciness, the 2015 will drink well right out of the gate. Crushed red berries and lifted floral overtones add notable character as well as complexity. (AG)

Classic aromas of tar and roses with spices, strawberries and some leather. Full body, round and firm tannins and a chewy finish. A beautiful and unique wine from a great vineyard. Try in 2021.
Barbaresco. Tasted blind. Maturing ruby with orange tinges. Plentiful cherry nose with huge lift. Enormously generous on the palate too, long and with perfect balance. Gorgeous, finely chiselled tannins. Can be approached now, but age would bring out its more complex side, which is a little hidden behind all that fruit. (WS)
