Winemaker Notes
Dardi Le Roses superb 18 acres come from distinguished stock: Dardi (part of the renowned Bussia cru) was quoted as early as 1880 among Barolos historical production areas. On this top-class soil, from vines aged 15-30 years, Tino and Federica orchestrate an all-Nebbiolo blockbuster conveying the finest traits of its terroir: structure, longevity, superb aromas of tar, liquorice and roses.

The first Colla winemaker worked in the Langhe hills in 1703. Our own times have witnessed the legendary career of Beppe Colla (born in 1930) who is said to know every vine in every vineyard around Alba, and was one of the founding fathers of the Alba DOCs in the 1960’s. In 1993, Beppe's talented daughter, Federica, joined forces with his younger brother Tino, and founded Poderi Colla. This challenging new venture combined the family heritage of many generations, the long-standing traditions of their terroir, and the future of Alba county’s wine-making. Their synergy brought together three outstanding estates ("poderi") under a single quality hallmark: Poderi Colla. The three properties are Cascine Drago, just outside Alba, Tenuta Roncaglia, in Barbaresco, and Tenuta Dardi Le Rose, in Barolo's prestigious Bussia cru. Today the wines are expertly styled by Beppe and Tino's son Pietro. Total vineyard surface is 64.2 acres.
