Merk: Vini d'annata

Ca' del Baio Barbaresco Asili DOCG 1999

Grape variety: 100 % Nebbiolo

Vinification and ageing
The destemmed and pressed grapes ferment on the skins in heat-controlled steel tanks for 5 to 30 days. The wine then matures in wood for 24 months, partly in oak casks and partly in small French barrels, before continuing its ageing in the bottle for 6 months.

Tasting properties
Colour bright garnet red, with slight orange tinges; nose intense, with fruity aromas of marasca cherries and hints of violets. Spicy notes of black pepper, liquorice and goudron; taste dry, warm and soft, showing a long, rich, smooth flavour.

Pairings
Goes well with braised and stewed red meats, game and very mature cheeses. As time passes, it also becomes a great meditation wine.

Serving temperature
18°C

Storing
Ready to drink as soon as 3 years following the harvest, it gives of its best after 10-15 years - and beyond in great vintages. Cellaring recommended with the bottle lying down in the dark at a constant temperature.
