Araldica
In the heart of the Langhe hills, Araldica has long championed the essence of the Piedmontese terroir. The Flori label represents a meticulous selection of Nebbiolo grapes, harvested from prestigious vineyards where the morning fog—the 'nebbia'—cradles the vines, fostering the slow, complex ripening required for a noble Barolo. The 2012 vintage serves as a testament to the cellar's expertise, capturing a year defined by its classic structure and patience. This wine underwent an extensive aging process, allowing the Nebbiolo to shed its youthful aggression and emerge as a refined expression of its rugged, historic landscape.
