The Roagna 2017 Barbaresco Asili Vecchie Viti draws its fruit from vines that are nearly 90 years old with southwest exposures. The Asili shows a more pronounced mineral character with crushed limestone or chalk that proves a beautiful addition to the delicate nature of the fruit. It opens to a lean ruby appearance and slowly exhibits rose, lilac, peach and redcurrant. Hints of smoke, licorice and camphor ash also appear softly at the back. This is a precious production limited to just 1,134 bottles.

Macerated cherry, strawberry and currant flavors are allied to a racy profile and muscular structure here. Focused and persistent, with elements of spice, mineral and savory, vegetal notes adding complexity. This is still very tight on the long finish. Best from 2025 through 2040. 100 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barbaresco Select to Add

Very perfumed and floral on first nose, the Roagna 2016 Barbaresco Asili Vecchie Viti is beautifully pure and bright. Those lithe but lifted aromas segue to red fruits, cassis, blood orange and hints of rust and iron. There is an earthy or sanguine note as well. This is an extraordinary wine with beautiful elegance (in a tiny production of just 1,194 bottles).
