Released through CruTrade →Why this bottle matters
Asili is one of Barbaresco's grand crus, and Giacosa's Riserva from it is among the most sought wines in Piedmont. The red label marks a vintage the house considered worthy of ageing.
Cellaring perspective
Barbaresco matures a little sooner than Barolo but this Riserva is a keeper. A bottle for the patient cellar, made to be followed over fifteen years and more.
Why provenance matters
For rare bottles, storage history is part of the bottle itself. Read how provenance is judged at The Empty Drops.

Common questions
Is this Bruno Giacosa 2020 authentic and how is its provenance documented?
This Giacosa Asili Riserva 2020 is held in professional bonded storage with documented custody. Its provenance is unbroken from release: the bottle has remained in professional custody, and condition is recorded. The Empty Drops is a private cellar, not a reseller, and never invents data about a bottle.
How is the bottle stored and shipped?
The bottle is kept in temperature-controlled bonded storage and is not moved unless shipping is requested. Ownership is transferred through CruTrade while the bottle remains in custody until delivery is requested.
What does the fill level and condition tell you about this bottle?
Condition is read from the fill level (ullage), capsule and label rather than taken on faith. A bottle that has not left professional custody since release avoids the usual weak points — heat, movement and broken records.
