Barbera Di Piemonte - 2005 - Araldica Vini Piemontesi
Ref: A108205
Deliciously ripe and rounded with a soft, blackcurrant fruitiness.

One of the most exciting wineries in Europe, Araldica Vini Piemontese is made up of three co-operatives, totalling some 1000 members working 2000 hectares of vineyard. It is not surprising then that they are by far the largest producer of Barbera in Piedmont.

Now, it continues to be fashionable to knock the rôle played by co-operatives which are still a powerful force in Italy, as there are many that have failed to move with the times and still churn out, at best, mediocre, lacklustre wines. But, there are just as many co-ops, like Araldica Vini Piedmontese (a highly successful partnership set up by the Australian, Martin Shaw and the innovative Italian, Claudio Manera), that have set new standards and pioneered new wine making techniques which have resulted in wines that amaze for the sheer quality of their wines. With a little help from maceration carbonique, Araldica has produced a deliciously glugable, gutsy and fruity Barbera of considerable character. Fresh, vibrant fruit is married with a touch of oak that gives the resulting wine an added dimension.
