Cantine Giacomo Ascheri Barolo (2015)

Intense garnet red color. Rich and complex bouquet of sweet spices, dried flowers, leather and undergrowth. Harmonious, well structured with elegant tannins and great balance and complexity.

Tasting Notes

93 James Suckling
A big and rich Barolo with lots of fruit and deep, intense and layered, ripe tannins. Full body. Very long and flavorful. Excellent finish. Needs four to five years to soften.

93 Wine Spectator
Delicate aromas of strawberry, cherry, rose, licorice and tar are effusive and complex. Supple and juicy, finishing with firm, balanced tannins. Picks up spice details on the mouthwatering finish. Best from 2022 through 2040.

91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Matteo Ascheri's 2015 Barolo is a beautifully balanced wine that shows a firmly united front of aromas. No single element is out of place. Those smooth aromatic transitions are followed by bright acidity, integrated tannins and lots of bright primary fruit. This is an accessible Barolo that drinks very nicely almost straight out of the gate. Try it with a Northern Italian autumn staple, such as pumpkin risotto.

91 Wine Enthusiast
Rose, forest floor, leather and mature wild berry aromas lift out of the glass. Juicy and approachable, the savory palate doles out ripe Marasca cherry and cake spice cushioned in polished tannins. Drink through 2025. Martignetti Companies.

90 Wine & Spirits
This wine comes from a five-acre plot in La Morra’s Ascheri cru. It’s dark and savory, the black cherry and baked plum flavors laden with notes of smoke and spice and framed by firm, raspy tannins.
