Gian Luca Colombo is a winemaker and consultant known for his elegantly styled wines made with a ‘hands off’ approach, allowing each wine to express its own personality. He makes a small amount of wine under his own name, and they are extremely sought-after. At 25ha, Verduno DOC is the smallest wine area in Piedmont, representing native variety Pelaverga. This wine is made from 100% Pelaverga and undergoes fermentation and maturation for a few months in terracotta containers. It is neither filtered nor fined before bottling. Michelle Cherutti-Kowal MW: Profound aromatics, with tart red fruit, spice and anise. Same on the palate. Crisp acidity supported by smooth tannins. Jason Millar: Great energy and vibrancy, tense without being lean, linear without being simple. A wine that seems to give you energy. Joy in a glass. Stefan Neumann MS: Lively, fresh. Fun but serious. Cherry and cranberry, elements of great Pinot Noir and Sangiovese. Just lovely.
