Description
What kind of wine it is
This still red wine expresses the authentic characteristics of Pinot Noir grown in Piedmont, signed Colombo. It presents a bright ruby red colour with garnet highlights. The aromatic profile opens with intense notes of ripe red berries, particularly cherry and black cherry, enriched by floral hints of dog rose. The bouquet is completed by distinct aromas of sweet spices, including vanilla and liquorice. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious structure, supported by elegant yet firm tannins, ensuring a warm taste and remarkable persistence.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the renowned areas of Bubbio, in the heart of the Langa Astigiana, a region of Piedmont ideal for enhancing this grape variety. The vineyards are situated at an altitude between 250 and 400 metres above sea level, on calcareous-marl soils. The vines are cultivated using the Guyot training system, which promotes balanced development of the bunches. The combination of altitude and soil composition gives the wine aromatic intensity and excellent ageing potential.
How it is produced
Vinification begins with alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, to preserve the aromatic purity of the fruit. Malolactic fermentation takes place entirely in wood, softening the acidic components. The process continues with a long maturation phase lasting 15-18 months in tonneaux and large barrels. Before release, the wine rests in bottle for a minimum of six months, achieving impeccable balance on the palate.
History and Curiosities
Since 2004, Colombo Cascina Pastori has been producing fine labels in the heart of the Langa Astigiana. Under the guidance of Riccardo Cotarella and Daniele Carboni, this Pinot Nero Piemonte DOC from the 2024 vintage expresses the most authentic essence of Bubbio. The meticulous artisanal care is reflected in the lengthy maturation in tonneaux and large barrels for 15-18 months, followed by six months of rest in the bottle, resulting in a harmonious red wine with good structure and elegant tannins.

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
