The 2007 Barbaresco Asili Vecchie Vigne wraps around the palate with lovely grace and elegance. There is nothing absolutely out of place in this soft, supple Barbaresco. This isn't a huge wine, but rather it is the detail, inner perfume and overall harmony that are most convincing. There is a pure centeredness to the Asili that is striking. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. Readers will note a change with these new releases from Luca Roagna. The top Barolo and Barbaresco selections are all being released at the same time, which means there is basically one vintage on the market at a time, rather than the mish-mash of vintages that was previously the custom. Roagna has also stepped up the quality of his corks, which is quite welcome for wines that are meant to age for decades. As always, the winemaking style at Roagna is deeply imbued in tradition. Late harvests, extended macerations and long aging in neutral oak inform wines of great personality. Importer: Louis/Dressner Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 334-8191
