Bricco Asili Barbaresco 'Bernardot' 2009
Regular price $120.00
Bricco Asili, comes from a combination of the name for the Asili vineyard, and the word "bricco" which, in local dialect, means the top of a hill. The resulting wine is unfined, unfiltered, and racking is kept to a minimum so that every part of the wine's true character is allowed to come through on the palate.
This single-vineyard Barbaresco expresses a complex, ethereal bouquet with notes of dried cherries, roses, violets, licorice, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, this wine highlights excellence in the range of Barbaresco.
Though capable of exciting the taste buds after just one year in bottle, this wine's true excellence shows after 5-10 years.
