Producer Information

Poderi Colla is a beautiful hilltop winery located on the outskirts of the hamlet of Treiso, one of the four communes of the Barbaresco production zone. The estate is well-known for the many excellent wines it produces, of which the Barbaresco Roncaglie [for a recent writeup (June 29, 2022) of a vertical tasting of this magnificent wine, see TerroirSense Wine Review, Vertical tastings: Poderi Colla Barbaresco Roncaglie 2010-2019] and the Barolo Bussia are the most famous and sought after by collectors. But as good as the Barbaresco Roncaglie is, and it really is, it’s hard not to view Colla’s Barolo Bussia as the numero uno in the winery’s portfolio. Beware: it’s neither a numero uno because it’s a Barolo, nor because the Bussia vineyard district is better than Roncaglie. No: Colla’s Barolo Bussia place on top of the heap is warranted because it truly was the number one wine of its kind in Barolo history.
Poderi Colla differs from many of those making Barolo and Barbaresco today because the Collas have always been a family of grape growers and winemakers first and foremost. The family can count on three hundred years of history, give or take a few years, and that neatly separates it from many in the area who are only first, second or third generation wine producers and who had been involved in other business activities prior to turning to wine full-time. In fact, the Poderi Colla winery as such was established only in 1993, when Ernesto (Tino) and his niece Federica Colla set it all in motion.
