1 x Poderi Colla Langhe Sclint Rose (Organic) 2022 - Langhe, Italy
Multi-award Winning Winery
Winemaker "Rosé from Cascine Drago's red grapes, Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo. A rosé with personality that brings together aromas of distinctive fragrance and delicacy, it is extremely pleasant and harmonious."
Terroir Sense - Ian D'Agata "The estate is well-known for the many excellent wines it produces, of which the Barbaresco Roncaglie and the Barolo Bussia are the most famous and sought after by collectors. Poderi Colla differs from many of those making Barolo and Barbaresco today because the Collas have always been a family of grape growers and winemakers first and foremost. The family can count on three hundred years of history, give or take a few years, and that neatly separates it from many in the area who are only first, second or third generation wine producers and who had been involved in other business activities prior to turning to wine full-time."
Antonio Galloni, Vinous Poderi "....Poderi Colla - it is hard to believe - remains one of the under the radar gems in Piedmont. Specifically, the Barbaresco (and Barolo, too) is consistently outstanding."

The winery is known for its dedication to crafting wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Langhe region in Piedmont. The winery was founded by the Colla family, who have produced wine for more than five generations. Brothers Tino and Beppe Colla brought Poderi Colla to international fame. Prominent figures in the winemaking world, the bothers studied winemaking in Burgundy and brought Pinot Noir cuttings back to Italy to propegate at their family's wine estate. Tino and Beppe Colla both played significant roles in elevating the reputation of Barolo and Barbaresco wines to international acclaim.
The Poderi Colla winery focuses on sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking techniques, producing wines that showcase the authentic flavors of the grapes. Poderi Colla produces a range of wines, including Barolo, Barbaresco, Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, and other regional varieties. Their Barolo and Barbaresco wines are especially revered, and they often age them in large oak casks to allow the wines to develop complex and nuanced flavors over time.

The Barbaresco wine region
The Barbaresco wine region is one of the most prestigious wine-producing areas in Italy, located in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. It is renowned for producing some of the finest red wines in the world, made primarily from the Nebbiolo grape variety. Barbaresco is situated in the Langhe hills, in the province of Cuneo, near the town of Alba. The Nebbiolo grape is the hallmark of Barbaresco wines. This variety is known for its thick skin, high acidity, and pronounced tannins, which contribute to the wine's structure and aging potential. Barbaresco wines made from Nebbiolo are typically elegant, aromatic, and complex.
Wine Regulations
Barbaresco holds the prestigious DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) status, which is the highest level of Italian wine classification. To carry the Barbaresco DOCG label, wines must adhere to strict regulations, including minimum aging requirements.
Aging
According to the regulations, Barbaresco wines must be aged for a minimum of two years, of which at least nine months must be spent in oak barrels. For Barbaresco Riserva wines, the aging period increases to a minimum of four years, with at least two years in oak barrels.
Nebbiolo Grape and Barbaresco Wine
The Nebbiolo grape is the hallmark of Barbaresco wines. This variety is known for its thick skin, high acidity, and pronounced tannins, which contribute to the wine's structure and aging potential. Barbaresco wines made from Nebbiolo are typically elegant, aromatic, and complex.
Flavor Profile:
Barbaresco wines often exhibit a captivating combination of floral aromas, red fruit notes (such as cherry and raspberry), and sometimes hints of spices and earthiness. The wines are known for their refined tannins and well-balanced structure, allowing them to age gracefully over time.
Food Pairings:
Barbaresco wines pair excellently with a variety of dishes. They complement traditional Piedmontese cuisine, including dishes like agnolotti (a type of pasta), braised meats, and truffle-based dishes. Their versatility also makes them suitable for pairing with roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.
The Langhe is a prestigious winemaking region located in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is renowned for its outstanding wines, picturesque landscapes, and rich culinary traditions. Here's some information about the Langhe winemaking region. The Langhe region experiences a continental climate with some Mediterranean influences from the nearby Ligurian Sea. The area benefits from a combination of factors such as sunlight exposure, altitude, and soil composition, which create an ideal environment for growing high-quality grapes. The region's terroir is primarily composed of limestone, clay, and sandstone soils, which contribute to the unique flavors and characteristics of Langhe wines. The Langhe is famous for its production of red wines, with Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto being the prominent grape varieties. Nebbiolo is the noble grape of the region and is responsible for producing some of Italy's most iconic wines, such as Barolo and Barbaresco. Barbera and Dolcetto are also widely planted and play significant roles in producing well-regarded wines, including Barbera d'Alba and Dolcetto d'Alba. Barolo and Barbaresco are the crown jewels of the Langhe region. Both wines are made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes and are renowned for their complexity, age-worthiness, and distinctive flavors. Barolo, often referred to as the "King of Wines," typically displays robust tannins and flavors of cherry, tar, and roses. Barbaresco, considered its slightly more delicate counterpart, is known for its elegance and finesse."

Wine Spectator "Shows ripe peach, melon and yellow apple flavors accented by mango and orange blossom notes on a smooth, juicy frame, while pretty spice notes of cardamom and honeysuckle linger."
Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion "When it comes to riesling, Pikes has it down pat with its several styles and tiers. This is a ripper. Bright and so succulent with lime juice and a squirt of Meyer lemon, in a lighter style. There's an appealing softness throughout, matched to refreshing light acidity. Try stopping at one glass." (2020 vintage)
James Suckling "Super fragrant with some spicy aromas, as well as crushed stones and fine lime. The palate has a supple, fleshy and softly presented core of apple and lime. Easy and charming." (2020 vintage)
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate "...it's a fresh, mouthwatering example of Australian Riesling, offering intense citrus aromas, hints of honey and peach on the medium-bodied palate and a long, fine finish." (2019 vintage)
Wine Enthusias "This cuvée is a zingy, regionally expressive drop. Bright notes of apple, lemon and lime are underscored by honey and spice. Rapier-like acidity dominates the palate, but there's plenty of fruit here, too. Balance it out with a Thai curry or an equally spicy, creamy dish." (2019 vintage)
Wine Spectator "Candied pear, lemon drop and succulent ripe peach flavors are intense, harmonious and wonderfully juicy, with lemon blossom and lime zest lingering on the long, expressive finish. " (2019 vintage)

Chewy and focused on the palate, offering racy lemon-lime and bitter quinine flavors and a spicy touch of ginger. Finishes silky and long, with the floral note sneaking back in." (2019 vintage)
Pikes is a prestigious winery in South Australia's Clare Valley, established in 1984 by Neil and Andrew Pike, whose viticultural roots go back to the late 1800s. Situated in the picturesque Clare Valley, the Estate is comprised of approximately 100 hectares of rolling slopes in Polish Hill River, an eastern sub-region of the Clare Valley.
Known for its cool climate and diverse grape varieties, Pikes showcases premium wines with distinct characters and flavors due to the unique terroir and altitude.
After an almost 20-year career with Penfolds Wines and Southcorp Wine Group, Andrew joined Pikes on a full-time basis in 1998 to oversee viticultural operations and manage the growing family business.
Pikes is particularly renowned for its high-quality Riesling and other cool-climate wines, praised for vibrant acidity, citrus flavors, and exceptional aging potential. Whilst they are best known for world-class Riesling, they have been growing Shiraz and Cabernet for 35 years and have 20 different grape varieties planted on their estate, producing a wide range of wine styles to suit all tastes.
Pikes pride themselves on producing quality handcrafted wines, that reflect vintage, variety, and region. The Pike family has been producing quality wine, beer, and aerated waters in South Australia since 1886 it is a family tradition of which they should be very proud.
Their vineyards in Clare Valley grow various grape varieties, with a strong commitment to sustainable viticulture and environmental responsibility.
Their portfolio includes Riesling, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, and unique blends, all crafted with a dedication to quality and craftsmanship. Over the years, Pikes has garnered numerous awards, establishing itself as a top producer in the Clare Valley, and gaining recognition both nationally and internationally for their excellent and consistent wines.
Riesling is a light-skinned, aromatic grape of German origin which is – if the majority of top wine critics are to be believed – the world's finest white wine grape variety. The Riesling vine holds a very different place in the wine world to such great grapes as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Chardonnay. While these immensely popular varieties have conquered every corner of the winegrowing world, Riesling is conspicuously absent from the core wine regions of France, Spain and Italy. Riesling's home is the regions that trace the middle Rhine and the lower Mosel, two of Europe's great wine rivers.
