Colombera e Garella is a partnership between growers Carlo and his son Giacomo Colombera along with Christiano Garella, the wunderkid of Alto Piemonte who has been so instrumental in the rebirth of the region. The Bramaterra area is dominated by volcanic, friable rocks with quite a bit of iron in the soil. The inclusion of 10% each Croatina and Vespolina give the wine a deeper expression with darker fruit and more texture than the Lessona. This is lush and textured for Nebbiolo but with very moderate alcohol and focused acidity. Delicious young, these bottles also have serious potential in the cellar over the course of a decade.
The 2016 Bramaterra Cascina Cottignano is bold, ample and super-expressive, although it is going to need at least a few years in bottle to be at its best. Even today, though, the wine's depth and overall resonance are both apparent. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, rose petal and earthy notes all flesh out in this potent, exotically rich Bramaterra. The 2016 is flat-out gorgeous, that's pretty much all there is to it.
