2016 Barbaresco Asili Riserva Produttori del Barbaresco

The 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Asili marries power and sensuality the way only Nebbiolo can. Soaring aromatics, beautifully pliant red-toned fruit and tons of pure depth emerge in a stunning Barbaresco that captivates all the senses. Silky, refined and exceptionally beautiful, the 2016 is quite simply one of the most complete Asilis I have tasted from the Produttori. It is an unforgettable wine.

En af kommunens lavere liggende marker med åben vestflanke ned mod Tánaro, hvor Produttori virkelig sidder på magten. Deres bønder ejer størstedelen af marken, hvor parcellerne går fra sydøst over syd til sydvest. Her er kalkindholdet relativt lavt efter Barbaresco-forhold. Mere mørk stil, mere svulmende, klart sødere i næsen, men stadig med snapsekrydderier, mens smagen er mere smygende og lækker og den har ikke samme bid som Pajé.

The Produttori del Barbaresco 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Asili (with 9,029 bottles produced) is distinguished by its elegance and the very smooth and silky delivery of fruit managed here. Seamless transitions are made between wild berry, blue flower, limestone, earth and crushed stone. The wine is expertly stitched together and ever so polished and glossy, just like a ruby gemstone. The Conti, Lembo and Viglino families take credit for supplying the Asili fruit for this blend.
