Ca del Baio Asili Barbaresco 2022

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
