From this winery

• Start up year: 2004
• Oenologist: Riccardo Cotarella, Daniele Carboni
• Bottles produced: 70.000
• Hectares: 10

It all happens in Bubbio, a small village in the heart of the Langa near Asti, where the vineyard has roots that go back to Roman times. Its origins date back to 173 B.C. when the legions under the command of the consul Popilius Lenante conquered these areas.

After the purchase, in 2004, of the nine hectares of vineyards surrounding Cascina Pastori, the business began in 2006 with the inauguration of the new winery, conceived in full respect of the surrounding environment. But a 'fortuitous' meeting in July 2010 allowed the company to broaden its perspective.

From the moment the company and oenologist Riccardo Cotarella met, the new era of the winery Azienda Vitivinicola Colombo Antonio e Figli began. Read more
