Tasting Notes
2022 Barbaresco Asili comes from Ca’ del Baio’s oldest vines in one of the Langa’s most celebrated crus. Fermented and macerated for 30 days, then matured for two years in a mix of oak casks, it pours a bright garnet red with subtle orange reflections. The nose is layered and expressive, showing marasca cherry, violet and dried flowers alongside hints of black pepper, liquorice, earth and underbrush. The palate is dry and rounded, with refined tannins that frame the fruit in a harmonious balance. The finish is elegant and persistent, a fine expression of both the site and the estate’s deep roots in Barbaresco. - Pete L
Arguably Italy’s most important fine wine region, Piedmont is synonymous with Nebbiolo, Barolo, and Barbaresco. It’s also home to a wide array of other compelling reds and whites that range from the austere to the juicy and joyful.
LOCATION:
Northwest Italy, bordering France and Switzerland, with the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south.
TERROIR:
Rolling hills and foggy mornings define Langhe and Roero. Soils are mostly calcareous marl with sandy or clay-rich layers depending on the site. Continental climate with cold winters and warm summers.
VARIETIES:
Nebbiolo is king, producing powerful, tannic reds. Barbera and Dolcetto round out the red trio. For whites, look to Arneis, Cortese (Gavi), and Timorasso. Moscato is important in the Asti area.
