Producer Information

Araldica is Piemonte`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

This wine comes from Nuovo Quadro, a single vineyard site with chalky mineral soils, at the foot of the Battistina hill. Winemaking takes place at Araldica`s La Battistina winery. The Cortese grapes are typically hand-harvested in mid-September, and the freshly picked grapes are gently crushed before undergoing temperature controlled fermentation in small volume stainless steel tanks. The wine remains in contact with the lees for up to 6 months before being fined, filtered and bottled.

Tasting Note

An enticing nose of white peach and pear with hints of lime and delicate aromatic notes. The palate is complex with fresh and zesty citrus fruit, ripe stone fruit characters, crisp acidity and mineral notes. The finish is pure, long and elegant with an appealing lightly saline edge.

Food Matching

Serve chilled as an aperitif or with seafood, fish dishes, soft cheese or salads.
