Tasting notes
Ceretto's1999 Barbaresco Bricco Asili is one of the superstars of this challenging vintage. A rare 1999 Barbaresco that keeps getting better with age, the Asili boasts gorgeous depth, expressive aromatics and a fabulous sense of silkiness. Crushed flowers, sweet red berries and cinnamon all lift from the glass in a wine of incomparable finesse. Over the last few years the French oak has finally been digested and the 1999 is now firing on all cylinders. What a fabulous surprise the 1999 has turned out to be.

Red-ruby. Precise aromas of currant, mocha, minerals, cedar and spices. Lovely combination of penetrating vinosity and density. The longest by far of these '99 Barbarescos, finishing with big, mouthclenching but ripe tannins.
