"Super-intense nose of flower bouquets and violets, with a restrained cherry fruit core and a whiff of orange peel vibrancy. The palate is elegant and the tannins refined and ripe, with great concentration, power and an outstanding, persistent finish. Good to drink now, but with the potential to age well."

"Iris, botanical herb, new leather and forest berry aromas shape the alluring nose on the beautiful 2021 Carlo Giacosa Asili. Elegant and savory, the juicy palate delivers red cherry, wild strawberry, star anise and mocha before an almost salty finish. Refined, polished tannins remind us this is Asili while fresh acidity keeps it beautifully balanced. Drink 2026–2036."
