    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Smoother and sweeter fruit than the Paolin if a little more closed. Despite the aromatic red fruit profile there is a solidity and depth here. The tannins are very present initially at the front of the palate, but gradually melt into the wild strawberry, rose apricot and cherry fruit. A lot going on here, this will need time to show at its best. A south-facing sandy vineyard, one of the great crus of Barbaresco, producing some of the region’s most aromatic and elegant wines. After a two month submerged cap fermentation the wines are then aged in used Slavonian oak casks of 20-50hl for 24 months.

    Antonio Galloni,
    Vinous
    The 2016 Barbaresco Asili is bright, perfumed and nicely lifted, with lovely sweet red berry, spice and floral character. Lithe and polished, the 2016 has plenty to offer, even if it is a bit small scaled, especially for this cru, where Barbarescos tend to have a bit more flesh. Even with time in the glass, the 2016 remains an austere Asili.
