- Vigna Colonnello is ruby red with garnet hues. The nose is intense and well-balanced, with notes of blueberries, raspberries, and currants accompanied by balsamic hints, impressions of Mediterranean scrub, and floral notes of dried roses. The well-balanced palate has a powerful and fine tannic texture while expressing great elegance. The finish is long and complex.
After harvesting, grapes were brought to the cellar and gently crushed; only 70% of the grapes were destemmed. Maceration on the skins was conducted in stainless steel tanks for approximately 8 days at a temperature that did not exceed 30° C (86° F). Malolactic fermentation was completed before the end of winter. The wine was aged in French oak of different capacities for 18 months and afterwards for 24 months in stainless steel. After bottling, the wine was aged for 36 months before being released.

Winery | Vigna Colonnello is produced from one prized hectare (2.5 acres) in the Monforte d’Alba area. This wine represents the two combined spirits of the Barolo territory and celebrates the encounter of two first-class terroirs. A wine with silky tannins can express the finesse and elegance of Tortonian soils while exalting the structure and power of Serravallian terrain. |
