Origin: In the village of Barbaresco, the Asili Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva, or MGA (indicating a registered vineyard). Vinification: Maceration for 20-25 days in temperaturecontrolled, stainless-steel tanks with regular pumpover. Malolactic fermentation continues in stainless-steel tanks. Ageing: The wine ages at least 18-14 months in large, 25- 50HL, Slavonian-oak barrels averaging 25 years old.
Asili may be the most reputable and sought-after vineyard of Barbaresco. It is a vineyard that gives us some of the best wines in the appellation. The reasons for its worldwide fame are linked to its unique geological composition within the town of Barbaresco: Light-gray Sant’Agata Fossili marls mix with sandy deposits to generate wines of the utmost fineness and elegance.
