The Collas are one of the oldest and most established families in Piedmont, and yet their wines somehow remain under the radar. Over the last few vintages, quality has been especially strong. Readers who enjoy transparent, classically made Barolo and Barbaresco will want to check these wines out. Antonio Galloni

Documented as far back as the 1800's, Roncaglia is one of Barbaresco's finest crus and the vineyards span the hillside in an amphitheatre-like shape, capturing generous light and sunshine.
Aged in nuetral oak casks for one year, this is fruity with notes of blackberry, wild rose and violet. The palate is long and velvety with round tannins and great ageing potential.
