Roagna – Barbaresco Asili "Vecchie Viti" 2020
An extraordinary auction opportunity for collectors and investors: Roagna's Barbaresco Asili "Vecchie Viti" 2020 is an absolute masterpiece of rarity and craftsmanship. Produced in a very limited edition of only 1,169 bottles in total, this wine is born from monumental vines over 50 years old rooted in the beating heart of the iconic Cru Asili (a micro-lot of just 0.22 hectares, rich in marl limestone and yellow sands). Luca Roagna’s philosophy — fermentation with indigenous yeasts, very long submerged-cap punch-down maceration, and long aging in large neutral oak barrels — enhances the quintessence of Nebbiolo. The 2020 vintage has earned a legendary score of 99/100 from James Suckling.

Nose: Ethereal, sumptuous, and incredibly refined. It opens with notes of wild rose hip, lavender, and graphite, giving way to wild raspberry, candied orange, licorice, noble leather, mint, and balsamic echoes.

Palate: A perfect balance between aristocratic power and grace. It shows vibrant tension sustained by juicy acidity and dense, silky, ultra-refined tannins. The finish is endless, chalky, mineral, and persistent.

Storage: Bottle in shop/collection condition (perfect level, intact label and capsule). Always stored in a professional wine cellar at constant temperature and humidity.
