Montemarino Barbera Piemonte

A light, fresh and easy-drinking example of this well-known and popular grape, which is widely planted in north-west Italy. Crisp and lemony with no oak ageing. (12 x 75 cl)

A Barbera with a deep violet-ruby red colour, Brichet has an intense, varied bouquet revealing winy hints of fresh red fruit, blueberry and prune that blend into the gentle notes of spices and coffee that are released by just the right amount of Ageing in wood . Conforming perfectly to the bouquet, the flavour is strikingly fresh and savoury, and is complemented by a forceful structure that does not conceal the balanced, yet palpable acidity and tannin content. The finale is tasty and pleasantly persistent. (6 x 75 cl)

Ruby-red in colour with purple hues, aromas of ripe raspberries and plums on the nose; this is a medium-bodied wine with soft tannins, an abundance of tangy red cherry and plum fruits laced with a savoury spiciness. Araldica successfully combine a well-run, productive co-operative, at the same time offering that small, family run company feeling. They now have 300 members tending to 900 hectares of vineyards. Their Asti production, Araldica and Alasia range are produced at the companies headquarters at Castelvero, home of the old cellars and a new winery, operating since September 2000. This facility is complimented by the winery and cellars on the hill at Il Cacsinone, restored to its former glory in 2004. Most of the grapes for the Poderi Alasia range come from the surrounding superbly-sited, steep-sloping vineyards. Araldica's Managing Director, eonologist Claudio Manera, is adamant that investment in the vineyards, as much as in other areas of the business, is vital to maintain the quality of the product. He believes that effective management can preserve that most important concern for the customer (12 x 75 cl)
