Established in 1993 by Tino Colla (brother of the legendry Beppe Colla) and his niece Federica, Poderi Colla is very much a family affair and continues the Colla family's three centuries of winemaking heritage in northern Italy. Tino and Federica believe in a non-interventionist approach to winemaking, to give each wine a unique expression of site and vintage, and they take sustainability and the environment as seriously as their wines. The wines are balanced, rich and complex.
Bricco del Drago Langhe Rosso wine is a deep, ruby-red wine with an exceptionally elegant bouquet, reflecting the ideal interplay of Nebbiolo and Dolcetto (the former's finesse, the latter's volume). Notes of blueberries, plums and cherry with hints of dried herbs and sun-baked earth. On the palate the wine reveals rich, sweet, plummy fruit alongside cherry and fresh redcurrants. There are also hints of spice, coffee, bitter chocolate and some complex savoury notes. A beautifully balanced wine with the concentration and structure to mature over a decade or more. This rich but non-aggressive wine is a good all-rounder.
Try with full-bodied pasta dishes, hard, full-flavoured cheeses, or even roasted meats such as wild boar.
