Colombera & Garella is a boutique winery in the northern reaches of Piemonte, founded by a duo committed to reviving indigenous varieties and traditional winemaking methods. Their vineyards are situated in the Coste della Sesia DOC, near the village of Masserano, at around 300 metres above sea level. The estate is farmed sustainably, with no chemical treatments, and the soils are volcanic and sandy. Their approach is minimalist, focusing on expressing the unique terroir of Alto Piemonte through natural fermentation and ageing in stainless steel.
Vispavola 2022 is a single-varietal Vespolina, a native grape of the region known for its aromatic complexity and vibrant acidity. The fruit is hand-harvested and fermented spontaneously in stainless steel, where it also undergoes 11 months of ageing. The wine is expressive, with notes of dark berries, Mediterranean herbs, and a peppery finish. The tannins are rounded yet provide structure, while the acidity offers direction without dominating. The finish is juicy and persistent, showcasing the purity and character of Vespolina.
