The Ceretto brothers are widely credited for pioneering the modern style of winemaking in the Piedmont region of Italy. Specializing in estate-bottled, single-vineyard wines, they have firmly established themselves among Piedmont's most progressive wine producers. Bricco Asili opened in 1973 and is still at the top today in the production of Barbaresco.

"The most stunningly perfumed and richest of Ceretto's 1990 Barbarescos is the 1990 Bricco Asili. Deeper-colored than the 1990 Bricco Asili-Faset, with an intensely fragrant bouquet of roasted herbs, nuts, oak, and sweet, ripe fruit, this wine possesses great richness, full body, a succulent texture, and a finish that lasts for nearly a minute. Drink this gorgeously proportioned, decadently hedonistic Barbaresco over the next 10-15 years. Bravo!" (RP 95)
