The Colla estate was founded in 1994, but the Colla family themselves have deep roots in Langhe winemaking documented back to 1703, when Carlo Colla first sold andldquo;casks of vino negro.andrdquo; Over the course of 300 years the Colla family has been integral to the evolution of Langhe wines, most notably through Beppe Colla, whose legendary career includes numerous landmark achievements: Prunotto gained international esteem under his guidance, he was an architect of the Alba DOC, and most notably was the first to bottle Langhe wine labeled with individual crus. Beppe's brother Tino, along with his son,andnbsp;Pietro, and granddaughter,andnbsp;Federica, founded the firm we know today, drawing on experience from his time alongside Beppe at Prunotto coupled with his intimate knowledge of the Langhe to create passionate wines of terroir steeped in the traditions of the region.

The nose was wonderfully perfumed, showing sweet cherry and strawberry with dusty spices, rosy floral tones, orange zest, hints of mint and underbrush. On the palate, I found feminine textures as juicy acidity added thrust with notes of dried strawberry, inner florals and moist earth tones filling the senses. Grippy tannin mounted with each sip, drying it's red berry fruits as they saturated the palate throughout the finish, along with lingering spice and red licorice which seemed to last for well over a minute. I can only imagine how good this will be as it's textures fill out over time. For now it's incredibly pretty, refined and slightly understated.

Roasted dusty herbs - bay leaf, rosemary, black pepper, crushed stones. Some Brett and VA. Faint tart cherry, tomato, and mint on the palate. Searing acidity, elevated tannins.

Really nice for a Barolo. Complex, balanced and not overly earthy or minerally. Has a bit of sweetness. Got it in Italy and brought back to age.

Another fantastic 2013 Barolo. Florals and fruit get through before the tannins clamp down hard.
