Ceretto

A complex, ethereal bouquet with hints of dog-rose, violet and liquorice. With its caressing, dry taste, in the mouth this wine highlights the excellence in the range of Barbarescos. Though it is capable of exciting the taste-buds after just a year in the bottle, the sensations are sure to increase on ageing: we recommend 3 to 15 years.

Wine Advocate

The estate’s top Barbaresco is the Bricco Asili. Made from vines that are over 25 years old and aged in 100% new oak, the 2001 displays a deep color and is darker, richer and more concentrated than the Bernardot, with notes of licorice, tobacco and spices dominating the nose. On the palate it is masculine, austere and balsamic, with flavors of dark fruits and plums, finishing with chewy tannins. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2021.

Score: 92. —Antonio Galloni, October 2006.

Wine Enthusiast

Features plenty of bold cherry aromas tinged with dried spices, but there’s also a hint of elevated alcohol on the nose. Big, full-bodied and tannic, with dried fruit flavors that show a hint of overripeness. Long and powerful on the finish.

Score: 90. —Joe Czerwinski, March 01, 2006.
