Ceretto Asili – Barbaresco DOCG – Red – 2019:

 

The Asili Cru: A Masterpiece of Nebbiolo by Ceretto

Ceretto’s Barbaresco “Asili” is the ultimate showcase of the Nebbiolo grape, hailing from the prestigious Asili cru-a vineyard renowned for producing Barbaresco of unmatched finesse and longevity. This single-vineyard bottling is a jewel of the Piedmont region, crafted under certified organic and biodynamic principles.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: A beautiful, clear ruby red, developing into a majestic garnet with time.
• Nose: Profound and seductive aromas of dried flowers, dark cherry, mint, sweet spices, and the characteristic savoury notes imparted by the silty soil.
• Palate: The structure is firm and concentrated, yet the tannins are exceptionally fine-grained and polished. It delivers a powerful core of fruit balanced by a lifted, vibrant acidity, promising decades of evolution in the cellar.

Food Matching & Decanting

This wine is a superb match for grand, slow-cooked meats and game. Decanting is highly recommended to soften the youthful structure and allow the complex aromatics to open up. Serve at a cool cellar temperature (16-18°C).
