£13.91
Araldica-Alasia is Piemonte's most forward-thinking co-operative, situated in Castel Boglione, in the heart of Barbera d'Asti territory. Here they work with 230 grower members to source quality grapes from around 690ha of vineyards. Many of their members joined the co-operative in the 1950s and have a long and loyal relationhip with the winery. They produce wines from Piemonte's main DOC / DOCG regions - predominantly Barbera, Gavi and Moscato, but also including Barolo, Barbaresco and Roero Arneis.
Alasia Langhe Nebbiolo is produced from Nebbiolo grapes cultivated in the Langhe hills around the town of Alba in the Piemonte region. The vineyards have a south westerly aspect and are situated at altitudes between 200 and 300m above sea level. The vines have an average age of 30 years. Grapes are typically hand harvested in early October. Fermentation in stainless steel follows, and the finished wine is aged in a mixture of French oak barrels (40%) and large traditional Piedmont oak vats for 12 months maturation. Finally these two components are blended and bottled. Attractively aromatic with dried red fruits, floral notes, and hints of sweet spice. The palate offers ripe cherry and berry fruits balanced by a lightly toasty, savoury complexity with finely-grained tannins. Pair with rich meat stew; pasta with fresh pesto, aubergine and smoked bacon.
Tasting Note:
The palate offers ripe cherry and berry fruits balanced by a lightly toasty, savoury complexity with finely-grained tannins.
Vegan.
