Compare Poderi Colla Barbaresco Roncaglie Prices

We might just have found the perfect starter wine for those looking to get into Barbaresco. Usually needing 5-10years for a single vineyard Barbaresco to be approachable, both time and price can dissuade newbies into diving in. However this could just be the game changer you have been looking for. For such a young wine, this is remarkably expressive and accessible with lifted floral and herbal notes, and characteristic red berries, hints of tar and spice on the nose. Tannins can often be quite intense in young Nebbiolo Cru wines, and whilst the tannins here are gripping, they melt away quickly leaving a silky generous mouthfeel with an alluring tension. Wild strawberries, raspberries and red fruits sit on an earthy bed with dried herbs and flowers giving further depth. An underlying minerality and freshness gives an added lift. This is attractive now but left for few years in bottle should elevate this further. This is a fabulous wine at a very attractive price. Nick Daniell, Club Wine Buyer

"I find it hard to believe, but Poderi Colla remains one of the under the radar gems in Piedmont. Specifically, the Barbaresco (and Barolo, too) is consistently outstanding. The house style is traditionally leaning, but with a modern expression of fruit and no rustic or hard edges." Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"Roncaglie is recognized as one of the best locations in the entire Barbaresco area". Daniel Thomases WS
