Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Asili Riserva 2020 layers deep red cherry and raspberry fruit with hints of rose, sweet herbs and subtle earthy tones, all wrapped in a sleek, dense frame. The palate is powerful yet refined, with very fine, assertive tannins and a cool, long finish that reflects the vintage’s combination of ripeness and striking freshness. This is a tightly coiled, profound Asili that promises superb complexity with time in bottle.

Bruno Giacosa’s Barbaresco Asili Riserva is a single‑vineyard Nebbiolo from the famed Asili cru in Barbaresco, produced only in exceptional years and labelled as a Riserva; it’s celebrated for an ethereal, rose‑and‑red‑fruit perfume, silkily integrated tannins and a long, mineral finish. Vinified with traditional methods and matured mainly in large French oak botti, the wine reflects Asili’s calcareous‑clay/sandy soils and south–southwest exposures, combining perfume and finesse with the structure to age for decades.
