About the Producer
Bricco del Drago vineyards are part of Poderi Colla’s 25-hectare Cascine del Drago Estate, located 7 km from Alba in San Rocco Seno d’Elvio. The vineyards face west, at 330-400m elevation, with vines averaging 20 years old and a density of 5,000 vines/ha. Yields are around 4,000 litres/ha. Dolcetto is harvested late September, Nebbiolo in early October. Soils give Dolcetto complexity and structure. Grapes are vinified separately: Dolcetto macerates 5-8 days at 25°C, Nebbiolo 10-12 days at 30°C. The wines are blended and aged 12-18 months in French and Slavonian oak (new and 2-year-old) before racking to stainless steel.
Food Pairing
Full-bodied pasta dishes, hard, mature cheeses, or roasted red meats and game.

Fun Fact
Established in 1993 by Tino Colla (brother of the legendry Beppe Colla) and his niece Federica, Poderi Colla is very much a family affair and continues the Colla family’s three centuries of winemaking heritage in northern Italy.
