Description
Ascheri Barolo "Ascheri" DOCG
Intense garnet red colour. The perfect bottle to bring and compete at a 'wine-off' with fellow wine peers!Intense aromas of violets, small berries, red currants, spices, pepper, chocolate and tobacco. Medium-bodied and focused yet delicate with silky, fine-grained tannins framing a superb and creamy texture. This is an elegant and powerful wine at the same time.
Great for cellaring till 2028!
14.5%AWARDS & ACCOLADES
The 2010 Barolo Ascheri is aged in 60% neutral oak and 40% new oak and fruit is sourced from the La Morra township where Barolo shows some of its most elegant results. This is by far the most complete wine in the Ascheri portfolio with extra layers of fleshiness and structure. The results are very gratifying for this inaugural wine from Matteo Ascheri (that will only be produced in the best vintages). Drink: 2017-2028.
