The Asili vineyard was purchased in 1961, and today the youngest vines are 80 years old. This is the central part of the cru, or what Luca Roagna calls the most "classic" part of the vineyard site. In a series of three old-vine Barbaresco expressions, ordered according to growing level of intensity, the 2013 Barbaresco Asili Vecchie Viti is the first wine we tasted together. The bouquet here is nuanced and delicate with an evident mineral signature that is followed by ever-increasingbut extremely elegant throughoutberry fruit and blue flower aromas. The wine covers the palate fully, remaining light, firm and tense throughout. The Roagna family traces its genetic roots to Barbaresco (as opposed to Barolo) and these wines are of enormous symbolic importance to them. Consequently, they are a point of pride among those who so passionately collect them and put them aside to age in their cellars.
