Il Cascinone Rive Barbera 2020
£16.99
- This wine hails from an exceptional 70-hectare estate in the Monferrato hills, North-West Italy, purchased and redeveloped in 1999.
- Refurbishment of the cellars began the year after purchase and was finished just in time to take on their first 2007 vintage - and this latest vintage is just as incredible!

The Wine The Wine
Italy
Region:Piedmont
The Barbera fruit in Rive is sourced from the Rive (Piedmontese for 'very steep') and the Baldizzone vineyards which are at an altitude of 450 metres. The vibrant aromas of black cherries and prunes dominate here with subtle chocolate notes and toasty oak, providing complexity. The palate is rich, textured and finishes with a delicious balancing acidity.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Claudio Manera
Araldica is Piedmont's largest, most progressive co-operative yet retains a small, family run company feel thanks to the inspired guidance of winemaker/manager Claudio Manera (whose father Livio was the co-op's first winemaker in the 50s) alongside his wife Lella, also a winemaker and in charge of quality control.
"This is a Barbera of great structure, it is dry and fresh and well balanced with the intense flavour of black cherry and plum that is well integrated with a touch of sweet spice and almond. Intense and persistent finish." - Claudio Manera, Winemaker.
