Additional Information
Heartily recommended as a food wine - great with a good steak.
Vibrant aromas of black cherries, perfumed violets, warm spices and game. On the palate the wine has great structure and shows complex rich fruit, truffle and a touch of mocha and fine ripe tannins. Long, spicy finish and refreshing acidity.
History of Araldica-
They produce wines under Araldica, Araldica 'I Classici' and Alasia labels - and also a range of single estate wines from Il Cascinone (acquired in 1999) and La Battistina (acquired in 2002). Founded in 1954 by Livio Manera, father of the current Managing Director and winemaker Claudio Manera, Araldica has developed over the past 60+ years to become a major winemaking force in Piemonte, supplying wines across the globe. Claudio's wife Lella heads up quality control at Araldica, where she is responsible for the blending and approval of all wines.
Their son Carlo, also a qualified winemaker, is now part of the Araldica winemaking team. Livio pioneered developments in winemaking techniques - especialy with regard to the production of Barbera - and Araldica have since continued to be instrumental in driving awareness and distribution of Barbera and Gavi within the UK market and internationally.
