Bruno Giacosa,
Barbaresco Asili Riserva
Asili Riserva pairs one of Barbaresco's most celebrated vineyards with Giacosa's highly selective red-label Riserva designation. Production is limited and the wine has a long-standing reputation for ageing, supported by both vineyard-specific demand and wider collector interest in Giacosa's red-label bottlings.

SIGNATURE VINTAGES
1990 A legendary mature Piedmont vintage and a natural reference point for Giacosa’s red-label Riserva.
2001 Powerful but balanced, with the structure for very long ageing.
2004 A benchmark modern Barbaresco vintage with exceptional perfume and precision.
2007 Riper and more immediately expressive but still highly collectible in Giacosa’s hands.
The Investment Case
Asili is one of Barbaresco's most prestigious sites, while Giacosa's Riserva designation adds another layer of selectivity and scarcity. The wine has both vineyard-specific demand and the wider collector following surrounding Bruno Giacosa's red-label bottlings. Mature, correctly stored examples become increasingly scarce because comparatively little was produced in the first place.
