Descrizione

Barolo DOCG - Essenze - Vite Colte comes from the renowned hills of the Langhe, in Piedmont, a region famous for the production of this iconic wine. Made from Nebbiolo grapes, an indigenous variety that best expresses the complexity and elegance of the territory, this Barolo presents itself with a refined structure and an authentic character.

The wine is distinguished by careful aging, which enhances its olfactory notes of withered rose, ripe cherry, licorice, and spicy hints of tobacco and black pepper. On the palate, it reveals a vigorous but well-integrated tannic texture, accompanied by a pleasant acidity that guarantees longevity and balance. The persistence is long, leaving memories of red fruit and mineral notes.

Perfect with important dishes such as braised meats, game, and aged cheeses, Barolo Essenze elegantly tells the richness of Piedmontese tradition. A deep and engaging sensory experience for lovers of great Italian wine.

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.
