Production
Alasia Barbaresco is produced from a cellar selection of Araldica's best barrels. The grapes are hand-harvested in early October. The Nebbiolo grapes are de-stemmed and crushed to four small fermenters for 12 days, with daily pumping-over. This ensures good colour and flavour extraction, but avoids over extraction of the abundant Nebbiolo tannins. The wine is drained off at dryness and the skins transferred to a small press. After pressing the wine is settled for two days, and then racked to Slavonian oak botte and barrique, where it is aged for 2 years. It is then racked from oak and gently natural egg white fined. Another 6 months maturation in bottle is completed before release.Tasting notes

The first organic fizz from Chile! The usual fizz suspects Chardonnay and Pinot Noir once again work in perfect harmony to produce a sparkling wine with the perfect balance of easy drinking freshness and yeasty toastiness. The name "Amaluna" is a fusion of the words ama, which refers to “mother” in many languages, and luna, which means “moon,” a symbol of femininity that evokes both the mother-daughter relationship and the idea of goddess and protector of the planet.

Sale!Apple and stone-fruit aromas are basic. This wine feels lean and stringy. Tart nectarine, citrus and salty flavors finish light and simple in this Viura with 15% Tempranillo blanco. A delicious white Rioja based on the very typical Viura grape with a splash of the very uncommon Tempranillo Blanco - a white grape mutation of Rioja's most important black grape. The aromas are fresh, direct, and charming with pretty scents of green peach, fresh lime, and a tiny hint of Valencia orange wafting from the glass. About 9 months in tank on the fine lees of fermentation give this a creamy, lightly waxy, mouthfeel and add depth to the flavors of yellow peach, lime, starfruit and Asian pear. Finishes crisp, clean, and mouthwatering with generous fruit and a hint of salty mineral lingering. A fine party/sipping white and good match for freshwater fish and salads.
