Description
In a nutshell:
An elegant, fresh and easy drinking white from Piedmont in northern Italy.
The lowdown:
This is a great value, zesty dry white with fresh, primary fruit aromas of green apples, grapefruit and ripe citrus fruit on the nose with lightly honeyed, lemony notes on the palate. The finish is fresh and crisp with citrus flavours and a hint of almond and mineral touches. Cortese is the same grape variety that goes into Gavi and this wine is made from fruit grown in the same parts of the Monferrato hills. A wine that really over delivers when you consider its very modest price.
The Producer:
Araldica, one of Piedmont's largest and most forward-thinking co-operatives, is situated in the Monferrato hills in the heart of Barbera d'Asti territory. Here they work with 230 grower members to source quality grapes from around 690ha of vineyards. Despite their size they have a real family run feel about them thanks largely to the husband and wife management/winemaking team of Claudio Manera and Lella Burdese. Founded in 1954 by Livio Manera, father of the current director and winemaker Claudio, Araldica has developed over the past 60 years to become a major winemaking force in Piedmont.
When to drink:
This quintessential Piedmontese white is made to go with grilled white meats, fish and shellfish are what to eat with it, or just have it as an aperitif.
Suitable for Vegans
