Complex nose with aromas of plum, spices, red berries, dried rose and violet. On the palate it is straightforward, tasty, with prominent tannins well integrated into the structure of the wine. Good length and persistence with a fruit and spice aftertaste. An imposing wine for the whole meal, this wine is excellent with pasta dishes with meat sauce and with meat main courses.

This wine is produced at Cascine Drago in the Nebbiolo d’Alba production area, at the border of the Barbaresco area. It embodies all the features of delicacy, elegance, structure and drinkability of a great Nebbiolo. It is aged one year in large casks and in its first years it is a smoother than its ‘brothers’ Barolo and Barbaresco.

The Colla family has been a winemaking family in the Langhe since the beginning of the 18th century but despite their long history, Poderi Colla is one of the newest estates in the region. It was started in 1994 by Tino Colla and his niece, Frederica (the daughter of the legendary winemaker Beppe Colla of Prunotto fame). Beppe Colla bought Prunotto in 1956 and made his first single vineyard wines in 1961. He was one of the first winemakers to focus on bottling single vineyard wines across his entire range. Beppe's calling card became his Barolo Bussia and it remained his favorite vineyard until he sold Prunotto in 1990.
