Valpane Barbera “Perlydia” 2012
Piedmont, Italy Pietro Giuseppe Arditi began working the land in 1900 under a sharecropping agreement, and after his passion and dedication to his work had earned Fojadelli’s confidence, he purchased the estate in 1902. Over the years he planted more vines and raised his family at Valpane. His eldest daughter, Lydia, was a brilliant student with a bright future in mathematics, but her mother needed help around the house so, like many girls of her generation, she was pulled out of school at an early age. But instead of cooking and tending to her elderly grandmother, Lydia followed her father out to the vineyards, where she quickly became fascinated by his craft. Before long, she was working alongside him and showing a keen business sense in dealing with clients. As Pietro grew older she gradually took over the estate, continuing to make the same structured, aromatic wines for which Valpane was already known. Today Lydia’s nephew, named Pietro for his grandfather, runs the estate.
This Barbara has zippy acidity with a round body. Runs beautifully through the palate with expressive flavors of dark cherry, violets, and plum with a juicy texture. The Ultimate Guide To Crispy Peking Duck |

This Alexia Grenache is a red to look forward to from a winemaker to look out for. Named after the god-daughter of Sierra Reed, this is true testament to the women of wine. Sierra was actually pregnant and gave birth during this wine’s vintage.Undeniably Grenache with its confected nature but very highly perfumed with terra cotta and earthy tones. The wine has a light chalky tannins and youthful fruit sweetness with savoury layers due to spontaneous fermentation. Truly balanced and transitions perfectly on the palate.
