Barbaresco Riserva "Asili" Riserva 2016 Producers of Barbaresco
The Barbaresco Riserva "Asili" 2016 is a fine Piedmont wine by Produttori del Barbaresco. Nebbiolo grapes come from Cru Asili, where the terroir allows to preserve the primary hints of the grapes, with a distinctly fruity and floral bouquet. The must ferments in steel containers at a temperature of 30 degrees, macerating for 28 days on the skins, with Malolactic fermentation taking place. The refinement then follows, which first lasts 36 months and takes place in oak barrels, and then, after bottling, it continues for another 6 months directly in glass. The Barbaresco Asili 2016 shows a ruby red color with garnet reflections. The intense and complex nose opens with hints of ripe red fruit and then heads towards floral, balsamic and spicy aromas. The tasting is structured, full-bodied, with an accentuated but not intrusive tannin, with very long persistence.
