Carlo Giacosa 2018 Barbaresco ‘Asili’ Piemonte

Asili fruit is always a special occasion, and with Carlo, its minerality and supple mouthfeel are on full display. Produced in a cool-ish vintage, this 2018 is a bit of a beast, showing more savory, earth and backbone than Carlo’s usual elegance. After a stretch in the decanter, it relaxes into itself showing crush roses, licorice and a little baking spice. Yum!
