DESCRIPTION
A ripe and easy drinking Italian Vino da Tavola made by a leading Piedmontese co-operative.
The lowdown:
Araldica are one the top co-ops in Piedmont and make some excellent, good value wines. Barbera is the main grape variety in this area and this tasty but unassuming red they've put together certainly exemplifies their skill. It's deliciously ripe and approachable and full of soft brambly fruit flavours. Held together by gently supple tannins, it signs off well with a hint of spice on the rounded finish.
When to drink:
It has no pedigree, it's just wonderfully tasty and drinkable. All by itself, or with pasta, pizza, or burgers it's just great.
Suitable for Vegans
PRODUCER
Araldica

Araldica, one of Piedmont's largest and most forward-thinking co-operatives, is situated in Castel Boglione, 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.
Many of their members joined the co-operative in the 1950s and have a long and loyal relationship with the winery. They produce wines from Piedmont's main DOC/DOCG regions - predominantly Barbera, Gavi and Moscato, but also including Barolo, Barbaresco and Roero Arneis.
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, supplying wines across the globe. Lella heads up quality control and 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 - especially with regard to the production of Barbera - and Araldica have since continued to be instrumental in the promotion of Barbera and Gavi around the world. As Claudio states their aim is '...to provide a range that is both understandable and accessible. Quite simply, wine for drinking and enjoying.'
