Description

The Barbera d’Asti Superiore DOCG of San Nicolao, signed Vite Colte, is born in the heart of the Asti hills, a land rich in wine tradition and terroirs suited to the production of intense and characterful wines. This wine stands out for its main grape variety, Barbera, which here finds ideal exposure and soil conditions to best express its depth and freshness. Aging in wood imparts complexity and roundness, enriching the bouquet with aromas of ripe red fruits, delicate spices, and a light balsamic touch.

In the glass, it shows an intense ruby color and a balance that combines tangy freshness and soft tannins, making it perfect to accompany traditional Piedmont dishes such as braised meats, red meats, and aged cheeses. A clear example of Barbera d’Asti Superiore, capable of enhancing the authenticity of the territory and the artisanal care of Vite Colte.

Winery history

Vite Colte was established as a project focused on quality selection linked to the historic cooperative Terre da Vino. The initiative was launched in 2010, and the Vite Colte range of wines was brought to market a few years later, with the first bottlings publicly available from the mid-2010s.

Production philosophy

The production philosophy places the vineyard at the center: shared agronomic protocols with member growers to ensure low yields, manual canopy management, hand harvesting and careful attention to grape ripeness. The aim is a consistent quality standard through integrated pest management and areas of the vineyard in conversion to, or managed under, organic farming.

Terroir and vineyards

Based in Barolo, with vineyards and sourcing distributed across the Langhe hills, in the Barolo and Barbaresco areas and in other Piedmontese zones suited to viticulture such as Gavi, Monferrato, Moscato d'Asti and Roero.
