Barbaresco Bricco Asili Faset, Ceretto 1990

The 1990 Bricco Asili-Faset reveals a superb nose of roasted herbs and black-cherries, medium to full body, wonderfully ripe flavors, and a long, expansive, concentrated finish that exhibits no hard edges. It should drink well for 12-15 years. Ceretto has a propensity to produce easy to drink, delicately-styled Piedmontese wines. While this is evident in the two blockbuster vintages of 1989 and 1990, the Ceretto brothers have made more concentrated and powerful wines than usual. Ceretto enjoyed superb success in both vintages, producing wines opulent enough to be drunk, but with enough concentration and richness to last for 10-15 years. These are top class efforts! Kudos to the Ceretto brothers!
