Details
Very focussed and linear wine in its youth, it is just starting to develop and offer more open drinking now.
Aromas of dark, bitter cherry combine with an earthy note and the classic salami skin savoury quality of Barbera.
Full, very ripe and concentrated on the palate with the focus again being the dark cherry notes. Striking acidity makes for a very succulent feel. Long finish . Tight quite 'athletic' in feel.
Araldica is Piemonte's largest and most progressive co-operative yet retains a small, family run company feel, thanks to the inspired guidance of winemaker/manager Claudio Manera (whose father Livio was the co-op's first winemaker in the fifties) and his wife Lella, also a winemaker and in charge of Quality Control. 80% of production is bottled (an extraordinarily high percentage for a large co-operative) at the company's headquarters in the Monferrato hills, home of the old cellars and a new winery, operating since September 2000.
High acidity and lovely ripeness combine with Barberas dark Cherry / savoury notes to make it perfect with inherently fatty or oily dishes - Duck, Pork (with crackling) good oily spaghetti bolognese etc.
