Gian Luca Colombo’s wines are born in Langa, with respect for the environment and the purity of the varietal. The challenge is being able to put the unique characteristics of the grape, territory, vintage into the bottle. This is done with no clarifying, filtering or tricks but done with an important but never prevalent aging. More than “producing” wines, I interpret the vineyards, trying to transfer what they have to say without censoring them. I am not interested in making wines that everybody likes but prefer building close relationships with those who appreciate their worth. (gianlucacolombovini.it)
Winemaker Notes: My daily bath of humility. Hard to get, honest, sensitive but stronger than those who grow it, this variety in Langa makes any experienced vintner rethink any of their preconceived notions. But it knows how to compensate with its ability to fully transmit the characteristics of the land it grows in.
