Gian Luca Colombo - Barbera d'Alba DOC Superiore
Description
Overview: My name is Gian Luca and I was born in the Langhe, the place where my passion for wine became a full-time job.
I am a consultant for several producers in the Langhe and winner of the Gambelli Award for Best Young Italian Oenologist in 2014. In 2011 founded Segni di Langa, and as the true garagiste that I am, I make my own wines in the garage underneath my house. In 2017 I decided to put my name on the labels of my own wines. My wines find their origins in the Langhe terroir and they transmit all of my efforts, passion and commitment I put into growing the grapes.
I call myself a farmer, while my wife Alessandra says I am a young entrepreneur! I am an energetic perhaps (and perhaps too fast-paced!). According to Alessandra my strong point is my capacity for communication. I would love for you to discover the fascinating world of wine and share my experiences.
A local historical grape, snubbed by most, reveals its intrigue only to those who listen to it and try to understand. It is without a doubt the variety that I have the most kinship with.
Tasting Notes: The Gian Luca Colombo Segni di Langa Barbera d'Alba Superiore is from vines 45 to 80 years old. This is a wine with great structure and intensity. The attention to detail is the secret of high quality and concentration. The color is deep purple with aromas reminiscent of black cherry, cassis and violet. On the palate it is warm, full-bodied and dense.
Pairing: Duck, goose, and game birds
