Gian Luca Colombo, a rising star and former "Gambelli Award" winner, operates his boutique winery with a Burgundian-inspired focus on terroir and minimal intervention in the Langhe. This specific Barbera d'Alba Superiore is sourced from historic old vines, ranging from 45 to 90 years old, situated in the high-elevation vineyards of Roddi and Magliano Alfieri. The winery prioritizes biodynamic practices and extended maceration to preserve the natural intensity and saline minerality unique to these ancient plots. By aging the wine in large oak casks and terracotta, Colombo ensures the final product reflects the purity of the fruit rather than cellar manipulation.
