Barbaresco Asili

Medium

Cork

One of three MGA bottlings, Asili was the Grasso family’s first. It remains the flagship of the estate. The 2023 expresses itself with gentle strength. The nose is pure red rose to start backed up by raspberry, brushwood and hazelnut. Taut and fine-boned, this flows with cranberry crunchiness as brisk acidity whisks it across the mouth. Smooth, earthy tannins are light but keep everything in place. Bitter orange peel animates the finish. Despite its delicateness, this has appealing stage presence.
