Dried figs, cherries, and oregano. The tannins aren’t super overwhelming on the palette— this Nebbiolo has definitely been softened. Pair with pets for a Cirneco dell’Etna.

Delicious. Still tight, hold if you can. Should you lose patience like me, you will still be rewarded with perfectly balanced notes of star anise, ripe cherry, herbs, sandalwood, and rose petals. Super chewy for sure, but wonderful, especially with pasta.

Originally, I only planned to pour the De Forville, the Roccalini and the Paitin but it just didn't seem right to host a Barbaresco class and not have a Produttori in the mix. So, I pulled this from the cellar as a bonus. Boy, am I glad I did. On the pop and pour, this had a striking burnt rubber smell; like from a pencil eraser. This blew off after a few minutes however and became sensational with the most perfect expression of Montmorency cherries, tar, and crushed rock. The 2009 Produttori "Montestefano" is so balanced and yet incredibly powerful. It also remains powerfully tannic. The finish is remarkably long; lasting well over two minutes. This is still very primary and would benefit for continued cellar time. Wow...I love this wine. This will drink well for decades to come. Bottle No. 12202. Bravo!

Excellent tonight. Nice evolution since my last bottle, and just starting to hint at secondary development. Pixilated raspberry floral shadings, offset by a dark mineral core. Length and class. 2019-2023

Ripe, bold and very intense, great mouth feel. Silky and refined. I think this is one of the Top Crus this year.,CB 95+ This Asili is one of finest ever made.
