'Can a Dolcetto be traditional, meaning it is a drinkable daily wine but also have complexity at the same time?' Gian Luca Colombo spent more than ten years trying to resolve this dilemma. The Dolcetto Elia wants to be drunk as an every day wine, but it is also a clear expression of a great forgotten varietal and a unique terroir with a great capacity to age. For this reason Dolcetto has found a place in Gian Luca's parcel selections.

In Piedmont, Gian Luca Colombo is the guy that everyone talks about. The architect of the neo-classical style of Barolo focusing on wines with real finesse: silky, elegant, perfumed, fine fruit, with gentler tannins, less wood and extraction, Colombo is the guy that everyone wants advice from. He won the Gambelli award for best young winemaker in Italy, and he works alongside a winemaker who is a consultant in Barbaresco, who makes the wine at esteemed Bruno Giacosa. They taste together, and talk together. The point is here is, that anything exciting happening in Barolo and Barbaresco, Gian Luca is probably aware of, and likely to be involved with. Gian Luca has a very small production of his own, and we are thrilled to have our hands on these wines.
