The Colla family has been making wine in Piedmont for hundreds of years. Itโs no surprise, then, that their wines are decidedly traditionalโNebbiolo with elegant, chiseled edges.
What is a surprise is that the estate was formed just 25 years ago, by Frederica Colla, the daughter of Barolo and Barbaresco superstar Beppe Colla. At Prunotto, Beppe was responsible for the gorgeous, hyper-traditional wines of the โ60s, โ70s and โ80s.
Ardently traditional in his winemaking, Beppe refused to settle for the status quo; he was among the first to harness the unique terroirs of Piedmont by focusing on single vineyards. The practice of single-vineyard Barolo or Barbaresco is hardly revolutionary today, but it was virtually unheard of in the early โ60s.
