Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Riserva Asili 2007

Giacosa's Asili in a warm, generous vintage. Red cherry, rose petal, violet and a cool thread of mint, this is Barbaresco at its most seductive, all perfume and warmth rather than structure. The fruit is opulently ripe yet never heavy, carried by a fine acid spine and tannins that have softened beautifully over the years. Lush, expressive, and utterly confident in what it is.
