Tasting Note: Forest floor, rose, iris, woodland berry, new leather and camphor aromas are front and center. The wine is potent and deep with a very long finish and firm tannins. Roses and crispy fruit on the nose with great well-integrated acidity on the mouth that promise a brilliant future. It’s a beautiful wine.
Critical Acclaim:
*ROBERT PARKER 96 POINTS*:
"This is a special treat. The Ceretto 2019 Barbaresco Asili (made with organic fruit) shows a tight or linear quality that is specific to this growing site. Aromas of dark fruit, blood orange and pencil shaving are even more pinpoint and focused in this beautiful vintage. This is a wine of enormous depth and length." (ML)(08/22)
*DECANTER 95 POINTS* :
"Asili, in my opinion, remains the most representative wine of the Ceretto family. Focused on the elegance of the MGA, this shows fresh watermelon fruit to the fore, with poised, restrained strawberry, dried flowers and liquorice root wrapped up in ripe tannins and lifted acidity. Concentration, weight and balance make this a wine for the long haul. Don't miss it. Drinking Window 2022 - 2039."
*VINOUS 95 POINTS*:
" The 2019 Barbaresco Asili is ample, creamy and resonant. All the signatures of this site come through in a Barbaresco of breadth and resonance. Even so, the 2019 remains light on its feet. There is plenty of depth and persistence, but it is expressed in more of an understated manner. It's a beautiful wine." (AG)(09/21)
*SUCKLING 94 POINTS*:
"Pretty nose of rose hips, raspberries, flowers and cloves. It’s medium-bodied with a fine, firm tannin frame and vibrant acidity. Precise and clear-cut. Tight for now. From organically grown grapes. Try in 2024." (10/22)
