Delicate red cherry and currant aromas in the 2019 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Asili are layered with hints of rose petal, cocoa and a subtle earthy spice. The palate is precise and energetic, with vivid acidity framing sweet red fruit while firm, fine-grained tannins bring structure and length, promising notable refinement with time in bottle. This vintage shows extra depth and volume without losing the vineyard’s trademark elegance.

Bruno Giacosa’s Barbaresco Asili is a single‑vineyard Nebbiolo drawn from the famous Asili cru in the heart of Barbaresco (south–southwest exposures on calcareous‑clay with sandy veins), a small holding Giacosa purchased and vinifies selectively. It is known for a floral, red‑fruit profile (roses, raspberry, blood orange) framed by silky, refined tannins and stony minerality, typically matured in large French oak casks and released only in top years as either a standard Barbaresco or a longer‑aged Riserva.
