2022 Ca’ del Baio ‘Asili’ - Barbaresco
Tasting Notes
Brilliant ruby with garnet tinges. Fragrant aromas of raspberry, dried rose, and crushed herbs are underscored by spice and forest floor. The palate is refined and textured, with seamless tannins supporting red fruit, truffle, and savory minerality. The finish is long and lifted, showing clarity and precision.
About Ca’ del Baio
