Tasting notes
This Barbaresco from the Asili site has a tight, linear quality that is particular to its growing site. The aromas are of dark fruit, blood orange and pencil shaving, all pinpoint and sharply focused. It is a wine of enormous depth and length.

About this wine
Ceretto's Barbaresco Asili comes from the Asili cru, one of the classic single-vineyard sites within Barbaresco DOCG, on the right bank of the Tanaro in Piedmont. It is made entirely from Nebbiolo, the grape responsible for the region's most perfumed and structured reds, at 14% abv.
Expect the variety's signature lift of rose petal and dried cherry over a firm tannic frame and bright acidity, softening with air into something silkier without losing grip. Serve at 16-18°C alongside braised beef, lamb, venison or a mushroom risotto - dishes with enough weight and earthiness to meet the wine on equal terms.
