The first Colla winemaker worked in the Langhe hills in 1703. Our own times have witnessed the legendary career of Beppe Colla (born in 1930) who is said to know every vine in every vineyard around Alba, and was one of the founding fathers of the Alba DOCs in the 1960’s. In 1993, Beppe's talented daughter, Federica, joined forces with his younger brother Tino, and founded Poderi Colla. This challenging new venture combined the family heritage of many generations, the long-standing traditions of their terroir, and the future of Alba county’s wine-making. Their synergy brought together three outstanding estates ("poderi") under a single quality hallmark: Poderi Colla. The three properties are Cascine Drago, just outside Alba, Tenuta Roncaglia, in Barbaresco, and Tenuta Dardi Le Rose, in Barolo's prestigious Bussia cru. Today the wines are expertly styled by Beppe and Tino's son Pietro. Total vineyard surface is 64.2 acres.

Aromas recalling smoky mineral rose petal and wild red berry carry through to the palate along with star anise tobacco and blood orange. It?s linear and almost ethereally elegant thanks to polished glossy tannins while bright acidity lends energy. 

This shows notes of spiced cherries, dried strawberry bush, chocolate, ground cloves and moist earth. Full-bodied, compact and steady with chocolaty texture and a firm grip of finely polished tannins. Lingering finish with earthy undertones. Better after 2025.
