Piedmontese wines are well known for their strong character and their important structure.
As a consequence, the wine-making tradition is mainly centered on the red wines production as
Barbera,
Barbaresco and
Barolo.
The
Poderi Colla are in the heart of Langhe, precisely in Alba, an area of Piedmont renowned all over the world for the production of first level food and wine excellences.
The wine cellar vineyards are at an average height of 150m, on a hill round exposed ground.
Part of the vineyard has been planted before 1930, with a partial renovation in 1955, moreover joining the agricultural program instituted by the Piedmont regional institutions with the aim of a total environmental sustainability.
Today we’re describing you the
Barbera d’Alba Poderi Colla.
As it is a vine variety endowed with a very high yield, its production is limited to obtain an higher quality.
The colour is a violet intense red, strong vinous aroma with floral tones of strawberry, cherry and prunes.
On the gustatory side the tannin is light, it is enjoyable young but its structure is full bodied and ideal for long aging too.
A whole meal wine to pair with pastas, soups and meat pies; great also for the preparation of sauces and beef stews.
