Giacosa/Bruno Barbaresco Asili 2017

97 points James Suckling: “There’s impeccable transparency and freshness to this Barbaresco on the nose, which introduces bright rose petals, lifted orange peel, crushed stones and sour cherries. The stoney tannins trace intricate detail on the medium-to full-bodied palate, highlighting the racy acidity, brambly undertones and a beautiful array of wild berries. Yes, there’s power and depth of flavor, but this is all about grace and beauty. Drink from 2024. (11/7/19)”

93 points Wine Spectator: “[$215 list] A focused, racy style, brimming with strawberry, cherry and mineral flavors. Elegant and balanced, with floral touches and a lingering aftertaste. The firm, integrated structure will allow this red to evolve gracefully. Best from 2023 through 2042. 185 cases imported. (11/30/20)”
