2020 Roagna, Asili Vecchie Viti - Barbaresco - 1 Bottle (0.75L)

Critic Scores (Ratings) James Suckling: 99/100 Kerin O'Keefe: 96/100 Vinous (Antonio Galloni): 96/100 Wine Spectator: 96/100 Roagna – Barbaresco Asili "Vecchie Viti" 2020 An extraordinary auction opportunity for collectors and investors: the Barbaresco Asili "Vecchie Viti" 2020 by Roagna is an absolute masterpiece of rarity and craftsmanship. Produced in an ultra-limited edition of just 1,169 bottles in total, this wine comes from monumental vines over 50 years old rooted in the beating heart of the iconic Cru Asili (a micro-lot of just 0.22 hectares rich in calcareous marls and yellow sands). Luca Roagna’s philosophy – fermentation with indigenous yeasts, very long submerged-cap maceration, and long years of aging in large neutral oak casks – highlights the quintessence of Nebbiolo. The 2020 vintage has earned a legendary score of 99/100 from James Suckling. Nose: Ethereal, sumptuous and incredibly fine. It opens with notes of dog rose, lavender and graphite, giving way to wild raspberry, candied orange, licorice, noble leather, mint and balsamic echoes. Palate: A perfect balance between aristocratic power and grace. It shows vibrant tension supported by succulent acidity and dense, silky, ultra-refined tannins. The finish is infinite, chalky, mineral and persistent. Storage: Bottle in shop/collection condition (perfect level, intact label and capsule). Always stored in a professional cellar at constant temperature and humidity.
