Barbaresco Roncaglie is one of the first and true crus of Barbaresco, acknowledged throughout pragmatic farming history as one of the best places to produce Barbaresco.

History acknowledges that the grapes from this estate have greater value than the grapes from other plots, and the reason lies in the unique vocation of the plots to give balanced, perfect grapes every year, capable of producing a Barbaresco that perfectly matches the features of elegance and harmony that this wine is supposed to have.

The Colla family has been a winemaking family in the Langhe since the beginning of the 18th century but despite their long history, Poderi Colla is one of the newest estates in the region. It was started in 1994 by Tino Colla and his niece, Frederica (the daughter of the legendary winemaker Beppe Colla of Prunotto fame).

Beppe Colla bought Prunotto in 1956 and made his first single vineyard wines in 1961. He was one of the first winemakers to focus on bottling single vineyard wines across his entire range. Beppe's calling card became his Barolo Bussia and it remained his favorite vineyard until he sold Prunotto in 1990.

What is now Poderi Colla is the product of thirty years of experience from owning Prunotto and vinifying nearly all the great vineyards of Barolo and Barbaresco. Beppe, Frederica, and Tino used their intimate understanding of vineyards throughout the region to buy three specific estates. Those three estates now comprise Poderi Colla.
