Vite Colte Barbaresco La Casa in Collina 2020

Piedmont, Italy Wine Enthusiast 90 points! (on the 2019 vintage) Vite Colte Barbaresco La Casa in Collina is a wonderful expression of the Nebbiolo grape from the Barbaresco appellation, located one hour from Torino in the famous Langhe region of Piedmont. Barbaresco sits high above the Tanaro River, where wine grapes grow alongside truffles, hazelnuts and chestnuts. Vite Colte is a cooperative of 180 winegrowers with 300 hectares of vineyard in Piedmont, part of which undergoing conversion to organic farming procedures. Vite Colte’s dynamic is made up of people who strongly believe in a shared concept of quality, where the responsibility of individuals is an integral part of the result. Winegrowers, partners, friends. This beautiful Barbaresco is 100% Nebbioloaged for 1 year in large oak barrels. “Underbrush, toasted hazelnut and eucalyptus aromas waft out of the glass. Austere and tightly wound, the firm palate offers cherry marinated in spirits, licorice and rosemary framed in rather astringent, drying tannins.”-Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, 90 points!
