It is made from \u003cstrong\u003e100% Nebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e and precisely tells the character of Asili, a historic vineyard in the municipality of Barbaresco entrusted to the vision of Ceretto. It is a label designed for those seeking a fine and long-lived wine that can unite aromatic complexity, balance, and a measured yet engaging taste structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTerritory and wine style\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Asili vineyard is located in the municipality of Barbaresco, on \u003cstrong\u003eSant’Agata fossil marls\u003c\/strong\u003e and at an altitude between 260 and 290 meters. These elements contribute to defining a classic and refined profile, where Nebbiolo finds expression in a soil suited for aromatic depth and tannic finesse. The vineyard, of very limited size, makes this wine even more precious and selective. The winemaking involves fermentation in steel with indigenous yeasts, followed by maceration and aging in medium-sized barrels, a choice consistent with a style that favors identity, balance, and the ability to evolve over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the \u003cstrong\u003eBarbaresco DOCG Bricco Asili 2012 Ceretto\u003c\/strong\u003e shows an elegant and multifaceted profile, with an ethereal and complex bouquet where wild rose, violet, and licorice emerge. On the palate, it is dry, caressing, and harmonious, with a present but not heavy structure. The tannic component, typical of Nebbiolo, is well integrated and supported by a freshness that extends the drinkability and favors evolution. The finish is persistent, with floral and spicy sensations that accompany the closing for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Barbaresco pairs naturally with dishes of great personality. It is ideal with braised meats, important roasts, beef fillet, game birds and fur game, but also with tajarin with ragù, mushroom risottos, and aged cheeses. Its finesse also makes it suitable for more refined preparations, as long as they have enough structure and savor to withstand the comparison with the wine. It is an excellent choice for an important dinner or to accompany Piedmontese cuisine in its most authentic form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eServing temperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo best appreciate the \u003cstrong\u003eBarbaresco DOCG Bricco Asili 2012 Ceretto\u003c\/strong\u003e, a serving temperature of \u003cstrong\u003e16-18 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e is recommended.
