The 20 hectares of vineyards forming
Colombera agricultural holding lie at Vho and a small part also
at Sarezzano, in any case not more than 2 kilometers away from
the cellar of vinification. Vineyard planting, pruning, canes
tying down, thinning and grape harvesting are all hand made.
For all our vineyards we’ve chosen south-east exposure,
in order to give leafs and bunches the best sun exposure possible.
Ventilation on these hills is excellent. The soil is clayey,
prevalently dark, but with light spots here and there. The altitude
above sea level goes from 220 to 300 meters. The growing method
is counter espalier with guyot pruning. Vineyards are all planted
“a ritocchino”, that is to say they are arranged
according to the length of the hill. The name of this system
derives from the fact that, in past times, the ox working in
the vineyard came down the hill erected and climbed it bent
down.
From these 20 hectares of vineyards we obtain the grapes used
for the wine to be sold in bulk to private citizens in the cellar,
that is to say LA COLOMBERA. Grapes for bulk
wine are selected from younger vineyards, for LA COLOMBERA
on the contrary grapes are selected only from older vineyards;
every best vineyard reflects a wine. |
