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 2016 was a stunning, benchmark vintage — prized for its transparency and precise structure across the board — and in Asili it produces a Riserva of extraordinary floral perfume, clarity and drive. The Riserva format adds extra aging in large oak, giving a wine with the depth and staying power to reward serious patience. A great vintage of a great cru; buy it, cellar it, thank yourself later.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Asili marries power and sensuality the way only Nebbiolo can. Soaring aromatics, beautifully pliant red-toned fruit and tons of pure depth emerge in a stunning Barbaresco that captivates all the senses. Silky, refined and exceptionally beautiful, the 2016 is quite simply one of the most complete Asilis I have tasted from the Produttori. It is an unforgettable wine." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"The Produttori del Barbaresco 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Asili (with 9,029 bottles produced) is distinguished by its elegance and the very smooth and silky delivery of fruit managed here. Seamless transitions are made between wild berry, blue flower, limestone, earth and crushed stone. The wine is expertly stitched together and ever so polished and glossy, just like a ruby gemstone. The Conti, Lembo and Viglino families take credit for supplying the Asili fruit for this blend." —Monica Larner

Wine Spectator

97 points

"This is pure and intense, exuding rose, cherry, strawberry, currant, mineral and wild juniper flavors, driven by the vibrant structure. The tannins are present yet refined, finishing long and resonant. A contrast of power and finesse."

Kerin O'Keefe

"This has a rather delicate nose offering aromas of mature red berry, cedar and camphor while the full-bodied but elegantly structured palate features raspberry jam, crushed Morello cherry and licorice. Enveloping, velvety tannins provide support. You’ll also detect the warmth of alcohol on the finish but the ripe fruit keeps it in check." —Kerin O'Keefe
