Cascina Colombera is on the hills of Biella, in the Bramaterra’s northern part of Piedmont, the land of such precious and rare and little known wine. Its owner is Carlo Colombera, former factor in a company of rice and tractor driver, converted to passion for viticulture since 1992. To the two hectares of vineyards surrounding the farm in Masserano, six more acres have been added in Roasio, having been purchased by the historic winemaker Emilio Morino Perazzo.

In 2000, the first bottles left the winery and Carlo began to devote himself full time to the production of wine. In 2010 his son James, after his graduation in Enology in Alba, gives life to the current company with his friend winemaker Cristiano Garella hence, the Colombera & Garella.

The vineyards of Masserano, divided into three or four plots, are rooted soils yellow silty-sandy and host plants that are very old. The plot only one located in Roasio presents instead a more clay soil and acid, always on the basis porphyritic. The grapes harvested here end up in two large barrels in concrete, where is the wine-making and then also finish after moving in old barrels.

The wine produced by this young company is the true expression of the territory and reveals the passion and expertise of the two partners. Characterized by noble and vaguely fruity flavors, the few labels out so far have been shown to have a pleasant freshness and an extraordinary refinement due to the perfect combination of tannins and aromas troughs. The special grace of expression that distinguishes the production is a sign of a recognizable signature style that comes from the perfect bond between love of tradition and youthful liveliness; a combination that has already been able to express themselves beautifully and promises great success.
