The Barbaresco “Asili” by Ceretto originates from the iconic Bricco Asili, one of the most renowned crus in the Langhe and a true symbol of the Barbaresco appellation. Vinified as a single-vineyard wine since the early 1970s, this label stands out for its refined elegance, expressive power, and perfect balance. On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe red berries, sweet spices, forest floor, and dried flowers. The palate is rich and structured, with silky tannins, depth, and a remarkably long finish, making it ideal for aging—easily over 20 years. A superb wine for important occasions, Barbaresco Asili pairs beautifully with fine cuisine, such as roasted meats, braised dishes, game, and aged cheeses. It also shines alongside traditional Piedmontese dishes like tajarin with truffle or fritto misto alla piemontese.
