Fermented and aged in a giant oak vat from only the finest grapes from the "sori" or best spot on top of the hill, after one year in the vat Impetus is then aged for a further year in the bottle before release.

“Impetus” Barbera Monferrato DOC 2004 This is the 2nd vintage released by Roberto under the Impetus name and deservedly so, the winemaker has perfected the art of large oak vat production with Impetus Secondus. Nose, structure and taste are all perfectly aligned and although destined for cellar aging this 2004 Barbera d'Asti is drinking very well now (decant two hours before drinking). Will improve for 8 or more years.

“Bric del Fruste” – Barbera Monferrato DOC 2001 , The second "premium" Barbera from this winemaker from the excellent 2001 harvest. This wine shares the same vat as Impetus for one year after which it is aged for an additional year in French Alier oak barriques. This wine is great for that special occasion, memorable meal or gift. Drinking well now and will age well for 6-10 years more.

Roero Arneis DOCG 2005 , The "next big thing" in white wine according to the leading wine commentators we chose this one as it is one of our personal favourites. Subtle and hidden depths of fruit and a great aftertaste make this a great white wine to enjoy with those special meals.

“Piano Piano” PREMIUM RESERVE – Barbera d’Asti DOC 2005 , At long last the first "premium" wine from the Blades' estate has arrived in the UK. This is a strictly limited edition as only 500 bottles were made (and only 300 are available!) 500 litres of the best wine from the great 2005 vintage have been gently maturing for an extra 15 months in French Allier oak barrels.. The distinctive Barbera d'Asti tastes are all there but much smoother with great balance and a longer aftertaste, this is a wine to savour!
This wine is drinking very well now, but if you have the patience will improve immeasurably over the next 5-8 years.
Released January 2008.
