Terre da Vino Chardonnay Piemonte ROCCHE DOC

A full, well structured wine with bags of weight and depth.Ripeness of fruit and a touch of cloves characterise this wine. (6 x 75 cl)

A delicious blend of Cortese and Chardonnay, a touch of pears on the nose and backed up by a full palate and firm crispness on the finish. (6 x 75 cl)

An interesting blend of the two great Piemontese varieties, Nebbiolo and Barbera. The fullness and richness of the Nebbiolo is balanced by the liveliness and soft fruit of the Barbera. (6 x 75 cl)

Lovely perfumed nose with hints of tobacco in the middle. Bags of fruit with a light dry finish and plenty of length. (6 x 75 cl)

The Barbera from around Alba is usually a big chunky style and this wine has an extra richness from over a year's barrique ageing. (6 x 75 cl)

A lovely soft flavour with a touch of brambles on the nose. A vibrant, lively wine that finishes with a touch of crispness. (6 x 75 cl)

From Moscato grapes that are harvested late so they are super-ripe this is classic sipping wine. Intense sweetness followed by a balancing crispness. (6 x 75 cl)

Established in 1980, Terre da Vino is an association of vineyard owners from DOC and DOCG estates in Piedmont. With 2,500 wine growers it cultivates more than 4,000 hectares organised into 14 Wine Cooperatives, located in the classic area of production.With a new modern winery and a focus on quality production from the vineyard to the bottle this is an exciting time for Terre da Vino. The grapes come from the classic Barbera area in the comuni of Nizza Monferrato, Agliano Terme, and Clamandrana, all in the province of Asti. This wine is blended from vineyards with slightly different soils and microclimates so that the final wine will offer a better balance between structural solidity and bouquet complexity. The vineyards utilised a total of 60 hectares , and are part of the company's 'Superbarbera' project where the Terre da Vino viticulturists rigerously select vineyard that have low yields and a commitment to quality. Vinification is traditional, with a 15-20 day maceration on the skins and a 28-30oC fermentation, followed quickly by the onset of malolactic. The wine then matures for about 12 months in small oak, about 1/3 new; here, the wine, already impressively structured, acquires a multi-layered depth of flavour and character, evolving into a richly-nuanced Barbera of grace and expressiveness. This wine is a ruby-edge purple with a rich and deep bouquet showing a complex balance of violet, liquorice, and vanilla notes. The palate is crisp and dry, with a subtly-veined background of vanilla and wild berries, which carry through to its lingering finish. (6 x 75 cl)
