Ca Del Baio

Barbaresco Asili Reserva

The 2011 vintage was the first time that Ca de Baio made a Riserva and what a vintage to do it in. There’s only 1,930 bottles made and it’s a much gentler style than their other wines, due in part to the different winemaking used. There’s 10% stems in the fermentation and the cap stayed submerged for 40 days. 3 years in French oak that was 2, 3 and 4 years old and 1 year in bottle. This is complex, balanced, a sensational glass of wine, generous fruit, very different in style to their other wines, truly exceptional. If only there was more of it.
