Tasting notes
The Ceretto 2020 Barbaresco Asili (a certified organic wine) embraces purple fruit flavors with summer plum mostly and some blackcurrant. The wine opens to a dark garnet color with the benefit of that pretty transparency that comes with Nebbiolo. The Asili seems to carry a little more fruit weight and power in this warm vintage.

Barbaresco. Mid-to-deep ruby with orange tinges. Subtle raspberry nose with just a pinch of savoury oak. Soft raspberry fruit with just the right amount of grainy tannins. Juicy and just a little light. (WS)
The 2020 Barbaresco Asili is quite simply textbook Asili. Fragrant and silky, with tremendous fruit purity and class to burn, the 2020 is so impressive. All the elements are so well balanced in a Barbaresco that impresses with its pedigree. A long, beautifully persistent finish rounds things out in style.
