Description

Bruno Giacosa`s Barolo and Barbaresco wines are known for their depth, structure, and intense flavour profile. The 1990 Barbaresco Riserva Asili is a highly sought-after gem. While Giacosa is now closely linked to this exceptional vineyard, the 1990 vintage marked only his second production from this site, resulting in a limited release of just 2,000 bottles.
