Details
BRICCO ASILI

This winery is one of the jewels in the Ceretto crown and the cellar where the estate's most prestigious Barbarescos are made. Since 1974, Barbaresco Bricco Asili has been separately vinified so that the natural elegance and sophistication of the vineyard's grapes is fully expressed. The '78, '85, '89 and '96 vintages were memorable.

"The most stunningly perfumed and richest of Ceretto's 1990 Barbarescos is the 1990 Bricco Asili. Deeper-colored than the 1990 Bricco Asili-Faset, with an intensely fragrant bouquet of roasted herbs, nuts, oak, and sweet, ripe fruit, this wine possesses great richness, full body, a succulent texture, and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute. Drink this gorgeously proportioned, decadently hedonistic Barbaresco over the next 10-15 years. Bravo!" Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, #92 (Apr 1994)
