Ascheri, a name synonymous with quality and tradition in the heart of the Barolo region, brings you a Barolo that is a testament to their unwavering commitment.
Barolo, often called the 'King of Wines,' is exclusively crafted from the Nebbiolo grape, a varietal notorious for its demanding nature yet capable of producing wines of unparalleled complexity and longevity. Ascheri's Barolo captures the very essence of this noble grape, showcasing its aromatic intensity, robust structure, and age-worthy character. The vineyards, carefully tended on the rolling hills of Piedmont, benefit from optimal sun exposure and unique soil compositions, elements that contribute significantly to the wine's distinct personality.
The 2020 vintage, presents a symphony of aromas and flavors. The wine greets you with a captivating bouquet of dried cherries, rose petals, and a hint of licorice, intertwined with earthy undertones and a subtle touch of spice. On the palate, it is dry and full-bodied, with firm tannins that provide a beautiful structure and a lingering finish. The wine's excellent balance and acidity promise a graceful evolution over time.
This Barolo pairs exquisitely with hearty dishes. Imagine it alongside a slow-braised beef ragu, the rich flavors of the meat complementing the wine's depth and complexity. Alternatively, it's a wonderful companion to truffle-infused risotto, its earthy notes echoing the wine's own.

It's a wine that reflects the history of a family, the traditions of a region, and the unique expression of a specific vintage.
