2009er Barbaresco Asili, dry, 14% vol., Bruno Giacosa

Garnet red with slight orange reflections. The nose has red berries, strawberries and roses. Full, harmonious taste with soft tannins. Bruno Giacosa is one of the last traditionalists of Piedmont winemaking. He fundamentally rejects barriques and his wines are not filtered. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and aging in large French oak barrels. He has adopted his ancestors` philosophy of intervening as little as possible in the development of his wines. His wines are of Burgundian elegance, gentle yet powerful and long. 2 glasses of Gambero Rosso 93/100 Parker points
