Tasting Notes
Dottore (Doctor) Matteo Ascheri is not only the 5th generation owner and winemaker of his family estate (established 1880), he also runs a 4 star resort and traditional 'Osteria' (restaurant) next to the winery in Bra. In addition to this, Matteo is the head of the Consorzio di Barolo, which makes all decisions about the future of this unique and highly-regarded region.
The Ascheri Barolo is a blend of the family's 3 vineyards, and attempts to take the best from each expression. Rich and complex bouquet of sweet spices, dried flowers, leather and undergrowth. Harmonious, well structured with elegant tannins and great balance and complexity.

Scores
93 / 100"Showing a mix of elegance and intensity, this red reveals a floral accent to its core flavors of cherry and strawberry. Earth, mineral and wild herbs chine in as this plays out on the long aftertaste, with excellent balance, Best from2028 through 2045."

"The Ascheri 2020 Barolo Ascheri (from an MGA site in La Morra) has high-toned red fruit that comes forward generously, thanks to the youth of the wine. Beyond that, you get licorice, tar, new leather and blackcurrant. It balances out nicely with tight tannins that are not overtly astringent. This hot-vintage wine leans toward softer tannins overall. Ultimately, the concern is whether there is enough acidity for ambitious aging potential."
