Description
The first vineyard of my grandparents Egidio and Angela, planted in 1961 in Valdivilla, in years when few people stayed on these lands to go to work in the city. Wonderful hill with an altitude of 280 to 360 meters and an average slope of 35%, difficult to work and to harvest. Turna lunga is an effort. Turna Lunga is sun, because it extends for 2 hectares with an exposure to the east and 1.5 hectares to the south. Turna Lunga are a few bottles of our Moscato d’Asti, what I’ve always dreamed to do … and now it’s finally there.

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
