Score 94/100 · Drink 2015-2026, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2014
Roagna's 2009 Barbaresco Asili Vecchie Viti is another striking wine. Silky, sweet and textured in the glass, the Asili is all about sensuality and pure pleasure. Here, too, Luca Roagna has done a terrific job striking a balance between acidity and ripeness. Sweet red berries, tobacco, smoke, leather and mint are all layered into the vibrant, super-expressive finish.
