Drink it now or cellar for up to 20 years. It is recommended to decant it for half an hour. Founded in 1958, the Cantina Sociale Produttori del Barbaresco has approximately 100 hectares of vineyards which include some of the most prestigious crus of the denomination. Today the cooperative is made of around 52 members and is considered one of the most prestigious wineries in the region. The Barbaresco Riserva Asili is made exclusively with Nebbiolo grapes from the Asili Cru, one of the most famous in the Barbaresco sub-area in Piedmont. Here the vineyards enjoy clay-limestone soil with some sandy traces and a south-west exposure which favors the perfect ripening of the grapes. After fermentation in steel, the finished wine remains for 36 months in oak barrels and then 9 months in the bottle before entering the market. The wine shows a clear and brilliant color with ruby red tones and garnet reflections. Its aromatic profile is broad and complex with fragrant notes of red berries, cloves, leather, and balsamic notes. On the palate, it is intense and sophisticated. It reveals good complexity and a full body. The tannins are firm but well-integrated. The finish is long and persistent and reveals notes of ripe fruit and undergrowth. It is ready to drink now, accompanied by red meat or game, but it can remain in the cellar for several years.
