With fruit from the village of Barbaresco, this is a lean and translucent wine with bright ruby and garnet highlights. The bouquet of the Carlo Giacosa 2018 Barbaresco Asili shows ripe fruit, with earthy notes, licorice and crushed flowers. It's all pretty standard for an Asili with a classic but accessible window onto the elegance of the site. This was a release of 1,904 bottles.
