Sweet spice, dried flowers, leather and undergrowth lead. The 2022 is smoky and spicy, with embers and bergamot over the dried flowers. The 2021 has a pretty chalky quality, most of all on the bouquet, with cocktail cherry and cassis.

LiquoriceHarmonious, with good structure and elegant tannins, both refined and powerful. The 2022 is firm and full-bodied, its tannins austere yet balanced, with refreshing acidity to carry it. The Nebbiolo comes from the family's own vineyards in La Morra, Verduno and Serralunga d'Alba, blended the traditional way.
The 2022 finishes dry and sticky and is best left until 2028: James Suckling scored it 92 and says to wait. The 2021 is readier, informal, bright and accessible, and the Wine Advocate scored it 92.
This is Ascheri's biggest Barolo, the traditional three-village blend, with 45,500 bottles of the 2021 made. A well-liked, classic Barolo for anyone who wants one to drink with a slow meal.
Four UK shops have it in stock. Vinatis sells the 2021 at £28.78. Great Wines Direct has the 2022 at £35.03 and The Great Wine Co. at £38 on offer, down from £44. Field & Fawcett asks £41.60 and does not name the vintage.
Best value and best with food: a Barolo DOCG from £28.78 that the Wine Advocate scored 92 for the 2021. It is firm enough for braised beef and game.
The 2021 sells from £28.78, cheaper than more than nine in ten of the 422 Barolo in stock on this site. Both vintages carry 92-point scores, the 2021 from the Wine Advocate.
Firm and full-bodied with refreshing acidity, so it wants food. It is at its best with braised beef, game, lamb and egg pasta.
A Barolo DOCG from a family that has made wine since the early 1800s. The Wine Advocate gave the 2021 92 points, and the 2022 scored 92 too. Right for a Sunday roast or a birthday dinner.
Ascheri gives it 18 to 20 years in a cool, dark place. The 2021 comes from a vintage that James Suckling's report says 'is looking like a landmark year', with high acidity for long ageing.
The 2021 is informal, bright and accessible, which helps. Still, the tannins are firm and UK shops list 14.5 to 15% alcohol, so it is a big first step rather than an easy one.
Cheap for a Barolo at £28.78. Still, the firm tannins make it a bottle for a proper meal, not a glass on its own on a weeknight.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.
A compact view of what the Barolo denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
The 2021 Barolo vintage 'is looking like a landmark year', in James Suckling's report, with high acidity for long ageing. The 2022 came from a drought, when the shoots in Ascheri's vineyards never reached the third wire of the trellis. He still gave the 2022 92 points.
A drought year, picked 10 to 20 days earlier than average, when Ascheri reported shoots that never reached the third wire of the trellis. James Suckling's report still found the 2022 Barolos unexpectedly fresh, precise and even elegant.
A snowy winter, then a dry, healthy summer and a warm, sunny September. James Suckling's report says the 2021 Barolo vintage 'is looking like a landmark year', with high acidity for long ageing.

Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
Barolo must age for at least 38 months, 18 of them in wood, before it can be sold. Ascheri calls this a Barolo made the traditional way from a blend of vineyards: for the 2021, La Morra, Verduno and Serralunga d'Alba.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Barolo is in the DOCG tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Barolo falls within Piedmont, covering Cuneo, Langhe: Barolo, Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga d'Alba, La Morra, Monforte d'Alba, Novello, Verduno, Grinzane Cavour, Diano d'Alba, Cherasco, Roddi. The denomination is further divided into 11 sub-zones.

The DOCG holds every Barolo back for at least 38 months, 18 of them in wood. The 2022 on sale now was picked almost four years ago, so each vintage ties up cellar space and money for years.
Ascheri's home page promises 'our vineyards and our land, only', so no grapes are bought in. Its UK agent counts 16 hectares of Nebbiolo for Barolo across La Morra, Verduno and Serralunga d'Alba, on slopes at 280 to 370 metres.
Barolo rules cap the crop at 8 tonnes of grapes a hectare. The 2022 drought cut the crop further: James Suckling's report notes low yields, and Ascheri reported shoots that never reached the third wire.
This is the family's largest Barolo, with 45,500 bottles of the 2021 in the Wine Advocate's count. That scale helps the 2021 sell from £28.78, cheaper than more than nine in ten of the 422 Barolo in stock on this site.
Of a £28.78 bottle of the 2021, about £8.13 is tax: £3.33 duty and £4.80 VAT. Duty has been £30.62 per litre of pure alcohol since 1 February 2026, and this vintage is 14.5% alcohol.
Dishes that go with this wine
The 2022 is firm and full-bodied, with austere yet balanced tannins and refreshing acidity. That grip wants braised beef, game, lamb or egg pasta, the matches that suit it best.
Slow-cooked beef softens firm tannin, and the gravy picks up the wine's leather and sweet spice. The 2022's tannins are austere yet balanced: the grip of a firm, full-bodied Barolo like this one.
Try with: Brasato al Barolo · Ossobuco alla Milanese · Fiorentina steak · Sunday Roast Beef · More pairings →
Fresh acidity cuts through butter, egg yolk and meat sauce, and keeps each mouthful lively. The 2022 has refreshing acidity, and its undergrowth note meets truffle head on. Piedmont's tajarin and agnolotti are the home match for a firm, dry Barolo like this.
Try with: Tajarin al Tartufo · Agnolotti del Plin · Ragu alla bolognese · Tagliatelle al tartufo di Acqualagna · More pairings →
Earthy food meets earthy wine: leather and tar run through this Barolo. Those notes carry straight into porcini and truffle, while the wine's cherry fruit keeps the dish from feeling heavy.
Try with: Porcini mushroom risotto · Truffle risotto · Polenta alla Valdostana · More pairings →
A full-bodied red needs a dish with the same weight, and game and lamb have it. The 2022 is full-bodied, and UK shops list it at 15% alcohol. Lamb and game are among this Barolo's best matches.
Try with: Venison Stew · Leg of lamb · Rack of lamb · Roast Duck
Salt and fat in an aged cheese soften firm tannin and bring the fruit forward. A dry, firm Barolo like Ascheri's suits a hard cheese better than a soft, creamy one.
Try with: Strong cheddar cheese · Cheese board · Pecorino sardo e pan carasau
At 14.5 to 15% alcohol, with firm tannin, this Barolo makes chilli burn hotter. The same tannin can taste metallic with oily or delicate fish, so keep it away from sushi and steamed fish.
Skip with: Crispy chilli beef · Green curry · Nigiri Sushi · Steamed sea bass · Pairing guide →
Ascheri gives the wine 18 to 20 years in a cool, dark place. The 2021 drinks well now and should keep until about 2039. The 2022 wants until 2028 and should keep until about 2040.

No. This is the blend, sold in a blue label with no vineyard name, and Ascheri lists it as its Blue Label. Barolo Ascheri has a cream label with ASCHERI under the word Barolo. It comes from one vineyard area in La Morra, the village where the family started out. Ascheri makes it, like Sorano, Pisapola and Coste & Bricco, only in the best years.
