Vite Colte
From this winery
  • Start up year: 2016
  • Oenologist: Bruno Cordero
  • Bottles produced: 1.200.000
  • Hectares: 300
Inaugurated in 2000, the winery is situated below the most prestigious Barolo cru vineyards and the architectural design has been reviewed by numerous modern architecture magazines. Attention to new technologies and a philological study of the territory which gives the Langhe its specificity and identity, were paramount in the mind of Gianni Arnaudo, the architect responsible for designing the winery.

Vite Colte is made up of people who strongly believe in a shared concept of quality, where the responsibility of individuals is an integral part of the final result. Winegrowers, partners, friends. The members of ViteColte are "accomplices" in a project that demands dedication to quality which is every bit as strict as the protocols implemented in its pursuit. Every winegrower is remunerated on the basis of the size of the vineyard and not the quantity of product, in order to obtain the highest level of quality.

Origin Town of Monforte d’Alba (Cuneo).
Climate Altitude: 370-480 m. a.s.l.
Soil composition The soils are of marine sedimentary origin, dating back to the "Piedmont Tertiary Basin", and are characterised by the presence of sedimentary clayey-limestone marl, alternating layers of marl and sand or sandstone, with a prevalence of Diano Sandstone, a compact sedimentary rock made up of grains of light-coloured non-calcareous sand. This terroir produces alcoholic wines with significant tannins, good structure and a long cellar life.
Wine making Malolactic fermentation is carried out in stainless steel.
Aging The wine is then aged in small oak barrels for 24 months. The wine rests a further 12 months in the bottle before being put on the market.
