2015 Barbaresco, Asili, Bruno Giacosa

TASTING NOTES

"Very perfumed and pretty with cherry, dried fruit and orange peel. Hints of sandalwood, too. Full body, layered and refined. Smoke, tar and spice aftertaste to the fruit. Drink in 2019." JamesSuckling.com

"In 2013, the father and daughter winemaking team of Bruno and Bruna Giacosa decided not to produce their Barbaresco Asili. They made a Rabajà expression instead. Asili was vinified separately again in 2014 and more recently to create the impressive 2015 Barbaresco Asili. This wine was bottled one year ago in July and has been on the market since February. This expression offers accessible and generous fruit tones, with blackcurrant and dark plum. The wine delivers big inner power with evident tannic firmness and a point of astringency on the finish. All it needs is more time in the bottle." Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate #237

"Palish ruby. A little stubborn to open up and with underlying richness. Bags of grainy tannins clinging to concentrated cherry fruit on the palate. No one component overpowers another. Perfect harmony." Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com
