Asili is one of Barbaresco's top crus (MGAs), and the Produttori del Barbaresco's Riserva bottlings from it are among the great values in age-worthy wine anywhere, single-vineyard Nebbiolo from a top co-op that consistently delivers at 5, 10, 20, even 30 years. Asili sits on the gentler, more perfumed side of the Barbaresco spectrum, known for elegance, florality and finesse rather than brute power. The 2019 was a classic vintage in the mold of the celebrated 2016 — a touch more fruit-forward and approachable, with gloriously silky tannins — which suits Asili's perfumed style beautifully and gives a Riserva that charms now yet holds the structure to keep evolving for decades. A beautiful introduction to what makes Barbaresco's crus so endlessly fascinating. Decant and enjoy.

"The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Asili is a very pretty, silky wine that shows all the signatures of this site in its refined, mid-weight personality. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, cedar, mint and tobacco all grace this classy Barbaresco. The 2019 is classic Asili, with firm tannins from the year." —Vinous

Tasting Profile

Elegant, perfumed Nebbiolo with red cherry, rose, dried herb and a savory earthiness. The 2019 brings silky, fine-grained tannins, bright acidity and a long finish. Decant.

The Produttori is Barbaresco’s benchmark producer. A huge share of the village’s best farmers, representing virtually all of its best terroirs, bring their fruit to the co-op. It is hard to be admitted to the co-op. There is a waiting list; only a few make it.

Once you are in, the rules are strict. You don’t get to hold back any wine for your own labels. This isn’t a region where growers ship off their second best to the co-op and put their pride and joy in their own luxury bottles. You have to meet strict quality controls, of course. The Produttori is only devoted to quality-minded farmers with incredible terroir giving their all.

The winemaking is likewise next level. Aldo Vacca, the co-op’s general manager, is one of the wine world’s greatest artists. If you ever have the opportunity to meet and taste with him, take it; he is also one of the wine world’s great communicators.
