2021 Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva Asili

***Max. 1 bottle per order Asili is the absolute darling of the region, an iconic, southwest-facing amphitheatre that produces wines of legendary finesse, perfume and silk. It is the polar opposite of Montestefano’s muscle, choosing instead to captivate you with pure, ethereal charm. The winemaking treats this fruit with immense respect, utilizing large format French and Slavonian oak to ensure the fine tannins remain silky and unclouded by heavy wood flavours. Even with the higher concentration of the 2021 harvest, Asili refuses to be heavy. It hits you with a gorgeous, lifted perfume of red woodland fruits, orange zest and sweet woodsmoke. The palate is unbelievably soft and flowing, carried by a network of lacy, weightless tannins that feel completely unforced. It shows the sheer beauty of the variety.
