Delicate on the nose, full-bodied on the palate. La Casa in Collina is Vite Coltes' charming take on Barbaresco. Crafted from traditional blends of grape varieties grown on historic terroirs with a gentle southerly aspect, this wine combines nuance with character: Around 20 days of slow fermentation and a year in large oak casks create a balance that allows for depth without sacrificing elegance. In the glass, it is a rich ruby red that deepens to a delicate garnet at the rim. The nose opens with a refined profile: ripe plum, red wild berries and violets, underpinned by ground coffee, tobacco leaf and a hint of delicate woody spices – subtly intense, yet never overpowering. On the palate, it is lively and carefully structured, with well-integrated tannins, fresh acidity and dense fruit. The significant oak influence is noticeable, yet nuanced. The finish is long, spicy and pleasantly rounded, with a hint of subtle vanilla and juicy cherry.

This Barbaresco is confident and expressive, yet accessible enough to be enjoyed now. Excellent value for money – good ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"A floral, rather classic style, displaying notes of fresh roses, redcurrants and a hint of liquorice. Medium-bodied with firm, dusty tannins, lively acidity and a crisp, austere finish." James Suckling

"Slowly, gently, the glass fills with ripe red plum and cherries warm in their own juices, a prickle of whole peppercorn and allspice following close behind. The palate opens to red cherry preserves, tobacco, forest floor and dried savory herbs, everything held together by tannins so fine and elegant they feel almost inevitable." Wine Enthusiast
