Barbera d'Alba DOC Costa Bruna

Tenuta Roncaglia

Costa Bruna expresses all the fresh and drinkable features of Barbera at its best, together with the elegance of the marly soil of Langhe. When the Colla family met the Costa Bruna vineyard, it was almost by chance. It was when the family purchased the Cru Roncaglie in Barbaresco. Colla family discovered a treasure placed exactly inside another treasure: 2 HA of Barbera that was at least 90 years old.

Costa Bruna, the lady of Roncaglie

We cannot be sure about the vineyard’s age, but it is certainly at least 90 years old. Evidence is available to date the minimum age, but the plants probably date back to an earlier age.
