A modern and efficient cellar which combines technology with a respect for tradition, in order to valorise and differentiate the extraordinary heritage of Piedmont’s varietals, one of the richest in the world. Araldica views cellar activity as the natural continuation of the quality expressed by the vines, an unquestionable quality that is accessible to all.
The Cellar of Castel Boglione
All of the associates’ grapes, once they have been hand-picked, are immediately transferred to the cellars of Castel Boglione, where they are carefully selected and crushed while still fresh. The resulting must is left to ferment in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The ageing of the wines, according to the grape varieties and the wine-making objectives, continues in oak casks or barriques.
The original nucleus of the cellar was set up in 1954 under the name of Cantina Sociale di Castel Boglione. Between the late 60’s and the mid 80’s, concrete tanks were replaced with stainless steel tanks and oak casks. It was in this same period that the ageing cellar was built, one of the most important in Piedmont in numerical terms.
