Ascheri Barolo Pisapola 2016 stands as a distinguished representation of the Langhe region's renowned winemaking heritage. Crafted from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the prestigious Pisapola vineyard, this vintage captures the essence of Piedmont’s unique terroir, characterized by steep hills and mineral-rich soils that impart exceptional depth and complexity.

This Barolo reveals a fresh and velvety texture balanced with a bold structure that reflects the wine’s elegant and refined profile. Aromas of ripe cherry, wild herbs, and subtle spice notes unfold gracefully on the nose, leading to a palate rich with layered flavors and persistent tannins. The harmonious interplay of acidity and tannins in this 2016 vintage ensures an impressive aging potential, allowing it to develop increased complexity and finesse over the years.

Sourced from a premium private cellar, the meticulous vineyard management and traditional winemaking techniques highlight the purity and distinctive character of the Nebbiolo grape. This wine exudes sophistication and depth, making it a standout example of Barolo’s celebrated reputation.

Known for its ability to age gracefully, the 2016 vintage benefits from a balanced climate in Piedmont that enhanced the grapes’ ripeness and aromatic intensity. This results in a wine that is equally captivating when enjoyed now or cellared for future enjoyment.

Reviews

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.
