🍷 Ceretto – Barbaresco Asili
Italy | Piedmont | Barbaresco DOCG | 100% Nebbiolo

Farming: From the iconic Asili vineyard in Barbaresco, where calcareous clay soils and optimal southern exposure produce wines of aromatic finesse, silk-like tannins, and extraordinary ageing potential

🌹 A noble Barbaresco—floral, layered, and classically poised.

👁 In the Glass:
Garnet with brick hues at the rim—transparent and elegant.

👃 On the Nose:
Captivating and complex. A bouquet of rose petals, violets, and red cherry unfolds with layers of licorice, forest floor, and a hint of spice, capturing the essence of Asili’s delicate power.

👅 On the Palate:
Silky and structured. Red berry fruit and floral notes echo the nose, supported by velvety tannins and a refined acidity. The wine builds in depth with each sip, offering balance, precision, and a long, savoury finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Ideal with truffle risotto, veal Milanese, wild mushroom dishes, or aged Parmigiano. A wine for contemplative meals and special occasions.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Beautiful now with decanting, but will evolve majestically over 10–20 years, developing even greater nuance and complexity.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Ceretto’s Barbaresco Asili is a benchmark expression of Nebbiolo—aromatic, refined, and steeped in tradition. A wine that speaks with elegance and quiet authority from one of Barbaresco’s greatest crus.
