Poderi Colla – Barbaresco Roncaglie – 2016

Straight from one of the highest expressions of Nebbiolo da Barbaresco, Roncaglie located in the township of Barbaresco village, it is from as far back as 1880 that it has been cited by scholars Lorenzo Fantini first and Alessandro Masnaghetti later, as a superlative vineyard. Tenuta Roncaglia is located almost close to the hillside, cultivated by the Colla family exclusively in Nebbiolo with plantings dating back to 1970 in a few hectares where the vines are also favored by an excellent southwest exposure and soils with good clay and sandy veins. The finest bunches are vinified in contact with the skins in steel tanks for 15 days, after malolactic fermentation the wine is aged for 12-14 months in large Slavonian barrels. A splendid wine is obtained, an exuberant elegance in the scents of violets and spices, then the real revelation and on the palate it is intense in pleasantness, fresh with velvety tannins. It promises an interesting propensity for aging and evolution with the years.

Description

More than 300 years of history for the Colla family, owners and winemakers from birth enhancing every novelty that was discovered in the world of wine by perfecting and spreading the process in Piedmont, such as the processing of Moscato and Vermouth. The change of course was sealed by Pietro Colla in the early 1900s with the learning and popularization of the Champenoise method in the Langa already introduced by his father Giuseppe and also taught to Carlo Gancia becoming his main collaborator, along with selling wines abroad. Then it was the time of his son Beppe Colla, a forerunner genius of the vinification of the great reds of Langa by single vineyard since 1961, it was specified for the first time in a label the concept of Cru, also was the soul and architect of the success of the wines of the Prunotto company from 1956 to 1990 and among those who made the first drafts of the production regulations of each Denomination. Since 1994 his brother Tino together with his son and his niece Federica have united the 4 estates they own and formed Poderi Colla where the main office is located in San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, and among which Tenuta Roncaglia in Barbaresco and Dardi le Rose in Bussia di Monforte d’Alba in the DOCG Barolo stand out. Full awareness in the work done in the vineyard and in the cellar, natural fertilization treatments and green harvesting, aging with the use of traditional barrels at the right times to enhance not only the grape variety but also the vintage. A life spent in the continual pursuit of experimentation and development of others for wines that reflect true territoriality, with well-defined character and one-of-a-kind.
