BRUNO GIACOSA Barbaresco Asili, Falletto DOCG 2019 Bottle

Description

Of all his vineyards Bruno Giacosa described Asili as being closest to his heart. This is beautifully expressive on the nose, with notes of wild cherry, a floral lift and minerality. It’s fine and fluid on the palate, with a subtle density capturing the taut richness of the vintage, balanced by freshness and sculpted tannins. Drink 2028 – 2038.

James Suckling 98 points
“Sweet and succulent aromas of tangerines, freshly cut ripe strawberries, cherries and flowers follow through to a full-bodied palate with sleek and dense tannins that run the length of the wine and then fan out into a dense, vivid finish of fruit. It’s chewy and seriously structured with finesse and energy. Silky texture. This needs at least four or five years to come together and open.”
