In the land of white truffles, hazelnuts, and the pride of Alba (Nebbiolo), Poderi Colla is run faithfully by Tino and Pietro Colla, the brother and nephew of the late Beppe Colla. Beppe was a pioneer in the region, who after stints to Burgundy in the mid 50’s, reinvented what the Nebbiolo grape could be in fermented form. He was the first to palpably embrace France’s concept of terroir, bottling vineyard designate Barolo and Barbaresco for his winery Prunotto, at a time when it was simply not done.

When he sold Prunotto in 1990, Beppe kept the very best parcels from Piedmont’s two powerhouse regions. From Barolo, it was Dardi Le Rose in Bussia, a wine if some of our more seasoned club members recall was offered back in 2017. In Barbaresco, it was Roncaglie, a no till / organic vineyard adjacent to Gaia’s Sori Tilden.
