Araldica is Piemonte's most forward-thinking co-operative, situated in Castel Boglione, in the heart of Barbera d'Asti territory. Founded in 1954 by Livio Manera, father of the current Managing Director and winemaker Claudio Manera, Araldica has developed over the past 60+ years to become a major winemaking force in Piemonte, supplying wines across the globe.
Alasia Spumante Brut, Alta Langa is a fine, dry Italian sparkler with good depth of character - made in the traditional method. The fruit was sourced from the cooler sites of the Il Cascinone estate. The fruit is hand-harvested, transported to the winery, and chilled to 5° C. Whole bunches are pressed and after settling for 48 hours the juice is racked and fermented at 15° C. After secondary fermentation in bottle the wine rests in a cool underground cellar for 7 years on lees to give it richness and complexity. It is then hand riddled and disgorged.
Fresh apple, citrus and honey on the nose with complex savoury brioche characters. On the palate ripe orchard fruit and subtle citrus flavours come to the fore with some leesy, toasty notes in the background. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity, an attractive creamy texture and prominent fruit on the finish. Enjoy with white meats and fish dishes.
