Tasting notes
The 2020 Barbaresco Asili is soft, sensual and immediately charming. Crushed rose petal, mint, red cherry, kirsch, leather and cedar give the 2020 plenty of aromatic lift to match its mid-weight personality. I would prefer to drink this over the next few years.

From one of the appellation's best-known growing sites, the Michele Chiarlo 2020 Barbaresco Asili offers more savory spice and depth next to the Barbaresco Faset. There is a touch more power and muscle in this expression, and these two wines complement each other nicely, with the Faset showing more primary fruit and the Asili showing more texture.
Barbaresco. Maturing mid ruby with bright orange tinges. Pretty, soft oak and strawberry-fruit nose. Light and pleasant but not up to cru level and fading a little on the finish. (WS)
