Vispavola is Colombera & Garella's only wine without any Nebbiolo—a pure Vespolina expression from their two-hectare Cottignano vineyard at 350 meters altitude on volcanic, reddish-brown silty sand soils. Vespolina, one of Alto Piemonte's native grapes, brings its own aromatic character and spicy personality to this region renowned for mineral-driven wines. The Colombera family has been cultivating vineyards here since the early 1990s, while Cristiano Garella, one of the area's master winemakers, guides production using traditional methods: prolonged maceration, spontaneous fermentation, and barrel aging that respects the wine's natural elegance.

More about Colombera & Garella

C & G is one of the region's very best producers. Their wines are picture-perfect representations of the Alto Piemonte's varied terroirs. Their farming is organic and their winemaking natural, and nothing interferes with their deliciously elegant expressions of northerly Nebbiolo, Croatina and Vespolina.

Why the fuss about the Alto Piemonte? It's not just the northern spin, or the mountainous terroir. It's also a matter of soils. The Alto Piemonte's volcanic soils are much more acidic than the Langhe's soils, which makes for lower alcohol levels and gives the wines a whole variety of unique mineral notes as well, sometimes, as an almost sanguine irony undercurrent. Married to the floral aromatics and beautiful fruit, these are really special wines. They are not just "Barolo alternatives."
