Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Asili DOCG, Piedmont, Italy, 2015, 750ml

Very perfumed and pretty with cherry, dried fruit and orange peel. Hints of sandalwood, too. Full body, layered and refined. Smoke, tar and spice aftertaste to the fruit. Drink in 2019. – 95 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, October 2017

The 2015 Barbaresco Asili is all class. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, orange peel, wild flowers and sweet spice lift from this vibrant, beautifully delineated Barbaresco. The 2015 doesn’t quite have the sweetness or inner perfume of the best Giacosa Asilis, but it is nevertheless a very pretty and expressive wine that pulses with energy and personality. It is also one of the most tightly wound 2015 Barbarescos I tasted. Drink 2022-2040.- 94 Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, October 2018
