Aromatic and layered, with notes of red cherry, dried raspberry, and subtle spice. The palate is structured and taut, with fine tannins and bright acidity carrying savory undertones through a clean, persistent finish.
The wine is a blend dominated by Nebbiolo with Croatina and Vespolina. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts, with extended maceration for the Nebbiolo component. Aging takes place in large, neutral oak before final blending and bottling.
Produced by Colombera & Garella, this wine comes from the Cascina Cottignano vineyard in the Bramaterra DOC of Alto Piemonte, Italy. The site sits on iron-rich volcanic soils near Masserano and represents one of the historic vineyard areas of the appellation.
