Araldica Castelvero s.c.a., Viale Laudano2, 14040 Castel Boglione (AT)
Today we find ourselves in the heart of the Alto Monferrato, in the hills south of Asti. Here Araldica gives life to this Barbera d'Asti DOCG Superiore Ricacciare, a wine with beautiful personality, presented in a bottle with a beautiful, elegant label. Pure Barbera grapes, in this case the fruit comes from vineyards rooted in rich and complex soils, with soils composed of calcareous marls and silty clays that give the wine a distinct minerality and robust structure. Vinification, respecting the unique characteristics of the grape variety, begins with a hand harvest when the fruit has reached the right degree of ripeness. In the cellar, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to enhance the fruity and floral aromas of the Barbera. Finally, the wine matures in oak barrels for a minimum of two years, acquiring elegance and complexity. In the glass, Ricacciare is a beautiful intense ruby red colour with garnet hues. The nose reveals an enveloping bouquet that seduces with notes of ripe plums, sour cherries and spicy hints of black pepper and liquorice. In the mouth, however, it reveals itself to be ripe, generous and robust. A full and satisfying sip, where the fruity hints of plum and sour cherry intertwine with the spiciness resulting from ageing in wood. The crisp acidity and well-integrated tannins give balance and persistence, resulting in a long and satisfying finish. It ideally accompanies savoury red meats such as braised meats, roast duck or game stews.
Araldica represents one of the most important wine-growing realities of Piedmont, with its 900 hectares of vineyards spread over the hills of Monferrato, Langhe and Roero. These territories not only offer breathtaking landscapes, today recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but are also famous for their rich oenological tradition and native vines of the highest quality. Headquartered in Castel Boglione, Araldica is a cooperative that unites around 140 members, all engaged in the cultivation of vines and the production of fine wines. This cooperative organisation guarantees a short and controlled supply chain, where every operation, from the care of the grape to the bottle, is followed in-house. This approach ensures not only superior wine quality, but also transparency and security that the end consumer can appreciate. The company has always invested in advanced technology and state-of-the-art machinery, working closely with universities, oenological schools and research institutes to constantly improve cultivation and winemaking techniques. This commitment makes the winery a dynamic reference point for innovation in the Piedmontese wine sector. The company also follows an integrated pest management protocol that minimises environmental impact while guaranteeing the health of consumers and farmers. Each intervention in the vineyard is carefully calibrated according to actual needs, reducing chemical treatments to a minimum. Last but not least, the company's mainstay is the accessibility of quality. Indeed, the company firmly believes that good wine should not be a luxury for the few, but a shared pleasure. This is why Araldica's wines, while maintaining impeccable quality, are designed to be appreciated by everyone, on every occasion, without ever being banal or cheap.
