Ceretto 2005 Bricco Asili Bernardot (Barbaresco)

Country: Italy / Bricco Asili Bernardot
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Ceretto / Barbaresco

Bricco Asili Bernardot opens with a pretty garnet color and luscious aromas of fruit, leather, road tar and spice. It’s a sophisticated and masculine wine with rich vanilla and oak shadings in the background that add density and staying power. The tannins are hard as nails so either drink this Barbaresco now with succulent red beef, or better yet, wait five-plus years.
