ANDUMA
CISTERNA D’ASTI - PIEDMONT
Anduma is a project delivering authentic, high-quality Piemontese wines as an introduction to the region and its all-star native grape varieties. We collaborate to deliver this set of classics, working with friends who maintain an (almost) 200 year old traditional family winery halfway between Asti and Alba. The quality:price ratio is superb, with each wine vibrantly showcasing grape variety and origin.
Il Fiume and Quattro Colli
Traditionally aged in large Slavonian oak, Il Fiume is from Neive in Barbaresco, and Quattro Colli from La Morra in Barolo. The DOCG awarded wines are transferred to the cellar in Cisterna d’Asti for further refinement in untoasted tonneaux and bottle. They are wonderful, open examples of these villages and represent incredible value for money.
THE WINES
Anduma Roero Arneis DOCG 'Primavera'
Primavera is a perfect example of Arneis, one of Piedmont’s premier white varieties. It shows a classic profile of white flowers, zesty citrus and light white fruits. Beautifully textured and medium weighted, it flows to a fruity finish on a stream of refreshing acidity. For lovers of Riesling and zippy, fresh whites!
Anduma Piemonte DOC Grignolino 2023
Grignolino is a rare, native grape variety from Piedmont. Light in colour, it pops out of the glass with aromas of crisp red fruits, sage and white pepper. Vibrant and dry, this is perky, light-weight drinking at its finest.
Anduma Monferrato Dolcetto DOC
Bursting with purple fruit and subtle spice, this vibrant Dolcetto is Piedmont's ultimate lunch wine. Without any oak to slow it down, it is medium bodied, soft in texture and high on juicy frivolity – a daily drinker, just the way we like it.
Anduma Langhe DOC Nebbiolo
The best starting place for Langhe Nebbiolo in the market. Typically dry and delicious, this has all the hallmarks. It is prettily perfumed with pure red fruits, faded flowers and some anise detail. Proper Nebbiolo under $40 RRP.
"Lively and bright expression of Nebbiolo here. It’s all juicy raspberry and redcurrant, a smattering of dried roses and dried herbs, plus slivered almonds. Medium-bodied, energetic, with a redcurrant and cranberry crunch, chalky tannin grip, fresh strawberry dusted with pepper on a crunchy finish. Has a certain coolness and dusty alpine character, but gee, it’s a nice frisky thing to drink. Value!" Gary Walsh - The Wine Front
Anduma Barbaresco DOCG 'Il Fiume'
A beautiful starting point for those who want to experience Barbaresco. Traditionally aged in large Slavonian oak for 12 months, Il Fiume is from Neive in Barbaresco. Compelling, aromatic and textured, it shows red cherry fruit, fennel and fresh leafy tobacco.
Anduma Barolo DOCG 'Quattro Colli'
Raised in large format Slavonian oak plus a little time in un-toasted tonneaux, this is traditional Barolo from La Morra. A deliciously effortless Nebbiolo wine, it is elegant and open with a latticework of tannin that gives structure to the richness of fruit. Complete with juicy red fruits, fine spices and liquorice, Quattro Colli captures the essence of the village.
