Description
The wine born from the desire to homage the beautiful landscape of high Langa Hill. The vineyard was one of the first to have been planted in the early 1990s, with a composition of heterogeneous grapes both in clones and rootstocks. Our Alta Langa it’s perfectly integrated within the terroir, with a clearly distinguishable and markedly territorial profile. The name is a tribute to my wife Valentina: like her, this wine is: plainspoken, sincere and rich of emotions.

Under the leadership of Paolo Torchio, the winery’s style was distinguished by its ability to produce clean, highly elegant wines with an austere femininity and finesse that made them instantly recognizable.
Since 2015, Bel Colle has been owned by the Bosio family, which has relaunched the purchase and arrangement of the vineyards, focusing production on the highest quality expressions of the territory: Barolo, Barbaresco, Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbera d’Alba and Barbare d’Asti. At the same time, it relaunched quality work focused on native white wines, including Alta Langa, Piedmont’s iconic Metodo Classico. Read more
