The Bricco Asili Barbaresco is vinified in steel tanks, keeping close
tabs on the temperature so it can be cooled down when it goes over 28/29°C.
The end of the primary fermentation is followed by a brief maceration, and immediately
afterwards by the malolactic fermentation, which is normally completed after
one month. Only small 300-liter barrels made of French oak are used for the two
years of ageing required by the regulations.
A complex, ethereal bouquet with hints of dog-rose, violet and liquorice.
With its caressing, dry taste, in the mouth this wine highlights the excellence
in the range of Barbarescos. Though it is capable of exciting the taste-buds
after just a year in the bottle, the sensations are sure to increase on ageing:
we recommend 3 to 15 years.
