Colombera & Garella

Nebbiolo and Vespolina from Piemonte's granite terroirs.

Colombera & Garella produces Nebbiolo-based wines from Piemonte's lesser-known appellations, where granite and slate soils shape wines of mineral precision and structure. The Pizzaguerra Lessona and Cascina Cottignano Bramaterra both draw from Nebbiolo, the region's most demanding variety, yielding wines marked by tannin and acidity that demand cellaring. A third offering, Cascina Cottignano Vispavola, pivots to Vespolina, a native Piemontese grape that brings lighter body and floral character to the portfolio. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast and Decanter, reflecting the winery's standing among serious critics of northern Italian wine. The house works in a region where tradition runs deep but recognition remains concentrated among enthusiasts willing to look beyond the famous names.
