Araldica

Overview

Estate

Araldica Castelvero, founded in 1954 in Castel Boglione between Asti and Acqui Terme, is one of Piedmont’s leading wine producers. The cooperative winery represents the historic winegrowing heritage of Monferrato, Gavi, Langhe, and Roero, producing wines deeply connected to the identity of Piemonte.

Climate

The vineyards benefit from a continental climate with warm summers, cool nights, and good ventilation from the surrounding hills. Significant day-night temperature variation allows for slow grape ripening while preserving freshness, aromatic complexity, and structure.

Soil

The soils vary across the production areas of Monferrato, Gavi, Langhe, and Roero, with marl, limestone, clay, and sandy soils that contribute elegance, minerality, and complexity to the wines.

Vineyards

Araldica cultivates approximately 900 hectares of vineyards throughout Piedmont, including Monferrato, Gaviese, Langhe, and Roero. The vineyards are planted with both indigenous and international varieties, including Barbera, Nebbiolo, Cortese, Moscato, Arneis, Chardonnay, and Dolcetto.

Cultivation

The winery follows sustainable viticulture protocols and integrated farming practices certified by SQNPI. Vineyard management focuses on biodiversity, reduced environmental impact, careful parcel selection, and the preservation of soil and vine health.
