Nicely perfumed and elegant, this offers aromas of wild berry, pressed blue flower and white licorice. The young tannins are astringent, firm and followed by crisp acidity. — (9/1/2012) —89

Earthy, herbal and elegant on the nose, Asili Barbaresco needs 4–6 more years of cellar aging to fully integrate. So far, this beautiful wine shows tones of berry, raspberry, red rose and cola that grow in intensity and power the more the wine opens in the glass. ——M.L.(9/1/2011)—— 91
