Spumante Extra Brut Metodo Classico Millesimato Pietro Colla, Poderi Colla

SPUMANTE EXTRA BRUT METODO CLASSICO MILLESIMATO

Cascine Drago - Alba

This sparkling wine takes its inspiration from Pietro Colla, Federica and Pietro’s grandfather, Beppe and Tino’s father. His characteristic professionalism, serenity and balance were the mainstay and heritage of the Collas, transmitting a passion for fine wine to the family’s future generations. Born in 1894, he spent a lifetime of Champenoise experience working for important producers of sparkling wines (which have since ceased to exist), flanking the day’s wine-making luminaries and benefiting from their first-hand knowledge of French bottle fermentation. Once retired, he continued to exercise the art of Méthode Champenoise for its own sake, producing limited quantities of Pinot Spumante Brut, Rosé di Nebbiolo Spumante Secco and Asti Spumante. Today, this sparkling wine partakes of Grandfather Pietro’s legacy and is dedicated to his memory
