Vite Colte is made up of people who strongly believe in a shared concept of quality, where the responsibility of individuals is an integral part of the broader final result. Winegrowers, partners, friends. The members of Vite Colte and their families are the cornerstones of a modern winery that demands expertise, dedication, and commitment to the very high standards of Piedmont traditions. They have just one goal. an absolute and constant quality standard, the result of agronomic choices aimed at sustainable, selective vineyard management focused on achieving perfectly ripe fruit.

The average altitude of 250 metres, the traditional vine training technique, and management of the vineyards to obtain low yields allow the production of a wine with surprising characteristics and personality. Vinification is traditional, with maceration on skins for 10 days, at a temperature of 25-28 °C. Malolactic fermentation takes place immediately after alcoholic fermentation and is followed by a period of bottle ageing to enhance the wine's characteristics and exceptional smoothness.

An opulent and complex nose, with prominent blueberry and violet notes. A dry palate, with rich and deep flavours, such as cherry and licorice. Silky texture remarkable for such a young Barbera
