Araldica Castelvero

Zesty citrus fruit and floral, hints of apple and pear with melon, stone fruit, minerality and balance.

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 relationhip with the winery producing wines from Piemonte`s main DOC / DOCG regions.

Wine Making

Produced from Cortese grapes cultivated in vineyards of Gavi, Piemonte. The vineyards are southwest facing and situated at altitudes of between 250 and 400m. The Piemonte low Guyot trellis system is used for the vines, which grow in a limestone-clay soil. Planting density is 4000 to 4500 vines per hectare. Grapes are hand harvested in the last week of September. Temperature controlled fermentation takes place in stainless steel (16-18ºC) and the wine spends a couple of months on lees.

Tasting Note

Zesty citrus fruit and lightly floral characters, with hints of apple and pear. Fresh, steely acidity and underlying mineral characters, balanced by notes of melon and stone fruit, and a touch of fennel and spice.

Food Matching

Great as an aperitif or particularly good with tuna steak, or anything from the sea for that matter! Gavi La Luciana also provides the perfect crisp, tangy match to fatty dishes such as sausages and beans and salads.
