Barbera d'Alba 'Costa Bruna' 2019

Poderi Colla is very much a family affair and continues the Colla family's three centuries of winemaking heritage in northern Italy. Championing a non-interventionist approach to winemaking, to give each wine a unique expression of site and vintage, they take sustainability and the environment as seriously as their wines. 

Barbera D'Alba Costa Bruna wine is a full and ample Barbera from the high quality, concentrated fruit of 70 year old vines. Aromas of black cherries, chocolate, liquorice and a hint of background meatiness. Refreshingly not too polished, revealing a barely perceptible rustic edge and development, which adds character. Very authentic Barbera, very classy, a finely textured palate, with a quiet lingering finish. This is ethereal Barbera, worthy of contemplation. Match with pasta with a meaty sauce, hearty stews and well-flavoured hard cheeses.
