History: Araldica are based in the Monferrato hills, in the south of the province of Asti, Piemonte. With access to a range of vineyard sites and sources of great quality grapes, Winemaker Claudio states that “Our intention has never been to follow an idle dream of making a great wine that is then impossible to find or difficult to afford. Our broader ambition has been to provide a range that is both understandable and accessible. Quite simply, wine for drinking and enjoying.”
