The Poderi Colla Barolo Bussia is an exceptional expression of Nebbiolo, originating from the distinguished Bussia vineyard located in the heart of Italy’s Piedmont region. The vineyard’s unique south and southwest-facing terraces provide an ideal microclimate and clay-limestone soil composition, contributing to the complexity and structure characteristic of this Barolo. After careful hand-harvesting, the wine undergoes traditional fermentation followed by extended aging in large Slavonian oak casks, which helps integrate the powerful tannins and enhances the wine’s elegance. Noteworthy for securing high ratings from wine critics and consistently delivering superb vintages, Poderi Colla Barolo Bussia is celebrated for its aging potential and representation of traditional Barolo winemaking methods. The winery, with deep roots in the history of Barolo, dates back to the 1800s and combines historical methodologies with meticulous viticulture to produce wines that express the true soul of the Langhe terroir.
