Description
Considered by many to be the finest cru of Barbaresco, Matteo notes that the defining characteristic of Asili is elegance. His 2022 shows this in abundance, with fragile, glassy red berry fruit, luxurious dried rose petal, and young leather, stitched into the firm but gliding tannins. This is picked slightly later than Cavanna, around September 25th, with the same vinification of 23 days on skins and 18 months of maturation in 25–50-hectolitre Slavonian oak. This is as delicate and pretty as it ever has been.

Critics reviews
Aromas of earth, strawberries, watermelon and orange peel, with restrained touches of licorice, cherrystones and dried flowers such as roses and violets. Medium-bodied yet weighty and concentrated, with velvety tannins and lifted acidity. More elegant than powerful, it needs time for better integration of its grainy finish.
