Home Red Wines Wines Araldica, Barolo `Flori`

Araldica Castelvero

A supple, finely structured Barolo with finesse and complexity.

Producer Information

Araldica is Piedmont`s most forward-thinking co-operative situated in the heart of Barbera d`Asti. Many members joined the co-operative in the 1950s and have a long and loyal relationship with the winery producing wines from Piemonte`s main DOC / DOCG regions.

Wine Making

Made from Nebbiolo grapes cultivated around the town of Barolo. The grapes were hand-harvested, de-stemmed and then crushed to small fermenters with daily pumping-over. This ensures good colour and flavour extraction, but avoids over extraction of the abundant Nebbiolo tannins. After three years maturation in 50hl Slavonian oak casks it was racked and bottled.

Tasting Note

A complex nose combining plum, mulberry, ripe strawberry and brown spice with delicate floral and violet notes. Tannins are firm and pleasingly supported with plump fruit and a rounded texture, giving a good lengthy finish.

Food Matching

Perfect with red meat, strong poultry dishes and earthy vegetable dishes.
