Ca del Baio Barbaresco Asili Riserva 2020

Still red Barbaresco Riserva from Piedmont, 15% ABV, produced by Ca del Baio. 100% Nebbiolo, 2020 vintage. A Barbaresco Riserva that expresses the excellence of the Treiso terroir, with careful vinification and lengthy aging that enhances its complexity. The hand-picked grapes, selected from micro-areas of the Asili cru, are pressed to produce must that ferments with temperature-controlled maceration in wooden vats along with 10% of undestemmed grapes. During the active fermentation phase, two punching downs per day allow for the proper extraction of color and aromas from the skins. Submerged cap fermentation then continues for approximately 60 days. After racking, the wine ages for 30 months in second- and third-use tonneaux, and finally, it ages in bottle for another 12 months before being released for sale. Intense aroma with hints of lavender, pine, rose petals, and notes of aromatic herbs, spices, and tar. Bright garnet red with light ochre hues. Enveloping and vibrant, supported by integrated, unobtrusive tannins.
