The French
The vineyard was set up between 1975 and 1977, as a result of Tino Colla’s work and study experience in Burgundy. In fact, Beppe, once Tino graduated from the Alba oenological school, suggested his brother to gain experience in the world’s reference area for oenology. In 1975, there were no Pinot Noir vine shoots available at Piedmontese nurseries, so the vines were purchased and transported directly from Burgundy.
