"This is ripe and chocolaty with dark berries, dark spices, leather and earth. Medium-bodied with chalky texture. The juicy fruit fades rather quickly leaving you with a dry, earthy finish. Drink now." James Suckling "Plum and spices with a gentle fragrance of faded flowers. Smooth mouthfeel, but with slightly gravelly tannins. Textured, with a lingering, dry, chalky finish."

The intense ruby red colour anticipates the olfactory sensation of intense fruity notes that are repeated on the palate, where the pleasantness of summer fruits such as cherry, plum and morello cherry dominate. Its good structure and medium body are presented with a broad and persistent finish, slightly tannic and dry.

"The 2020 Barbaresco Asili Riserva is a sensual beauty. Dark and expansive on the palate, with gorgeous resonance, the 2020 is seriously impressive. Wild cherry, lavender, cedar, new leather and spice build effortlessly in the glass as the 2020 works its way through the mid-palate and into its beautifully reverberating finish. The 2020 is quite simply one of the very...

"Red berries and rose petals, textbook Nebbiolo elevated to perfection. Piano wire tension carrying the wine from start to finish, the tannins are plentiful and rich without being astringent acting as the backbone holding the fruit expression tight but allowing individual expression as the wine sits on the mid palate. Needs time but already so compelling! Stunning Giacosa brilliance." Armit...
