This 7.5 acre vineyard resides in a geological bowl protecting the vines from wind and humidity. The vineyard’s poor soil results in a complex minerality in the final wine. Asili has a great aging potential but shows a distinct personality early on. The first vintage of Asili was produced in 1970.
The Asili has a Ruby red color with an elegant nose of refined red fruit notes. On the palate it is complex with a full-body silky rich with a long finish."

Cellar Selection Fragrant and refined this stunning red opens with captivating aromas of woodland berry rose violet ground spice and a whiff of new leather. On the firm elegantly structured palate taut refined tannins intertwine with succulent red cherry crushed raspberry licorice and chopped herb while fresh acidity lends balance. It's already tempting but still young so give the tannins a few more years to unwind. Drink 2021?2034. - KERIN O?KEEFE
Vinous: 95+ Points
The 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Asili is somber and dense in this vintage. Silky Asili tannins bring out the wine's voluptuousness and soft contours. Dark red cherry and plum fruit show some of the typical Asili sensuality but the 2014 is a powerhouse that is going to need time to come around. In 2014 Asili is unusually – almost uncharacteristically – austere.
