Roagna Asili Vecchie Viti Barbaresco 2016

Enticing scents of fragrant blue flower, perfumed berry, new leather and camphor slowly take shape on this focused, fantastic red. Smooth, elegantly structured and savory, the palate boasts an understated finesse, delivering juicy strawberry, cranberry, star anise and an almost salty mineral note framed in taut, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it well-balanced and gives it great aging potential. Drink 2026-2046. Cellar Selection. Score - 99. (Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, April 1, 2022) 1500 mL bottle
