Ascheri Barolo DOCG 2019 Rosso

The Ascheri Barolo DOCG 2019 Rosso is a dry red wine, crafted exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, sourced from the celebrated Barolo region within Piedmont, Italy. This wine adheres to the prestigious DOCG standards, underscoring its quality and the winemaking prowess of Ascheri, a winery renowned for its tradition and innovation in expressing the unique characteristics of the Nebbiolo grape. The 2019 Rosso is distinguished by its meticulous vinification and aging process, aimed at producing a Barolo that beautifully balances power, elegance, and the potential for aging, capturing the essence of its terroir.

After the move, Matteo Cavaleri's house became La Morra in Bra in 1880, where it is still today. Classically producing "Piedmontese" reds, their lists also included Gavi, Brachetto and Vermouth along with "Barolino Chinato" and "Gran Vino Barolo". In 1994, some of the old cellars were cleverly used by the Ascheri family, who opened l'Osteria Muri vecchi, an ideal meeting place where you can truly enjoy traditional cuisine and local wines and turn them into cultural, social and fun experiences. Today, the winery is run by the current president of the Barolo appellation, Matteo Ascheri.  

Upon tasting, the Ascheri Barolo 2019 Rosso unfolds with a complex array of aromas, including ripe red fruits, notably cherries and plums, interwoven with floral notes of violets, and enriched by undertones of leather, tobacco, and a hint of truffle. The palate is met with a robust structure, marked by velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that leads to a lengthy, nuanced finish, showcasing the depth and finesse characteristic of premium Barolo wines. This vintage illustrates the harmonious integration of fruit, terroir, and oak, offering a wine that is both approachable in its youth yet capable of graceful evolution over time.

The Ascheri Barolo DOCG 2019 Rosso is particularly well-suited for pairing with rich, savory dishes such as braised lamb shank, beef stew, or wild boar ragù, where the wine’s substantial body and complex flavors can complement the intensity of the dish. Additionally, it pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses, offering a delightful contrast in textures and flavors, enhancing the dining experience through the interplay of the wine’s structure and the cheese’s mature character.
