Bruno Giacosa - Barbaresco Asili 2015
Vintage
This vintage started with an early budding of the vines followed by a normal spring and a very hot summer, especially during the month of July with temperatures much higher than normal. The wines made from the Nebbiolo grape in this vintage are fragrant and distinctly fruity with a good tannic plot and a medium to high structure. The 2015 Barbaresco Asili is the emblem of balance and fruitiness.
