Vineyards & Viticulture:
The name of this wine was that of the vineyard's owner, where the wine originates. Ardy is sourced from some of the oldest vines Michele and Vanina work with, 45- to 50-year-old barbera and chatus. Chatus is a variety native to the Ardèche, from which it has now all but disappeared. Today the grape is found almost exclusively in the vineyards around Saluzzo, where its spicy, herbal character make it an excellent blending partner for barbera’s earthy depths. DOC Country: Italy Region: Piedmont Appellation: Colline Saluzzesi Conversion Organic under CCPB
Harvest & Vinification:
This wine is 70% barbera and 30% chatus. "Ardy" undergoes spontaneous fermentation in tank before being aged in neutral barrique for 12 months, and an additional 4 months in bottle prior to release. Vinification: Stainless steel Elevage: 12 months neutral barrel
