Poderi Colla, Barolo Bussia Dardi le Rose

Piemonte | Italy

Generous ripe berries and dried figs mingle with leather and spice on the nose, leading to a rich, plummy palate and firm tannins.

About the Producer

This very special wine is from a single vineyard called Dardi le Rose, on the hill of Bussia, a historically renowned site for great Barolo. The vines are grown at 300 – 350 metres above sea level, with a southern /south-westerly exposure. The grapes are harvested mid-October. The grapes are destalked and pressed, and the must is macerated on the skins for approx. 15 days – it undergoes malolactic fermentation. In the spring the wine matures in casks of Slavonian and French oak, part new, for a period of 24 to 28 months.

Food Pairing

Perfect with a big veal chop or good buttery egg pasta with shaved black truffle. Also works well with particularly rich fish dishes such as roast turbot.
