TASTING NOTES

This is the wine you reach for when you want to savor something truly special. The 2016 Ascheri Barolo Pisapola offers a fresh and velvety texture that feels both elegant and inviting. Think luscious ripe cherry layered with wild herbs and just a whisper of spice—flavors that linger and unfold with every sip.

Hailing from the steep, legendary hills of Piedmont’s Langhe region, this Barolo shines with vibrant aromatics and a refined balance between bold structure and delicate finesse. It’s crafted from Nebbiolo grapes nurtured in a private cellar where tradition meets precision, giving you a sophisticated wine that will age gracefully for years to come.

Enjoy this wine alongside rich mushroom risotto or a cozy night of slow-cooked meats to make any moment feel like a celebration. Whether you’re savoring it now or cellaring it for later, the Ascheri Barolo Pisapola is all about finding your perfect place and savoring the moment with a glass in hand.

Rose, forest-berry, underbrush and new leather aromas shape the elegant nose. The savory palate mirrors the nose, featuring ripe Marasca cherry, licorice, menthol and a mineral note evoking rusty nail. Taut, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity provide support while a hint of game signals the close.

The Ascheri 2016 Barolo Pisapola is the most immediate and accessible of the single-vineyard series of wines offered by Matteo Ascheri, and this makes perfect sense given the younger, geologically speaking, Tortonian marl and Messinian calcareous clays of the site. The Pisapola cru is located in Verduno, and the wine reveals a looser, thinner texture that is characteristic of this subzone. The bouquet is subtle and elegant, although the wine's overall intensity clocks in at a lower threshold compared to some of the better-known comuni or villages of the Barolo appellation. It delivers a mild structure and a silky close. Matteo Ascheri ferments on the hot side (at 28 degrees Celsius) for a brief 14 days. The wine is aged for 20 months, with 80% of the total going into Slavonian oak and 20% into French oak. Some 4,500 bottles were filled in July 2019, and the wine was released in April 2020.
