About Vite Colte

Tradition is highly valued at Vite Colte, but this does not prevent the Piedmontese wine producers from developing innovative concepts. Only grapes with plenty of colour and aromatic extract, well suited for ageing, reach the modern Vite Colte winery. Only high-quality DOC and DOCG wines are produced, based on low yields per hectare and rigorous selection during the harvest.

The Region

Northwestern Italy's Piedmont ("at the foot of the mountains") lies at the southern foothills of the Alps. The climatic conditions are demanding: It is significantly cooler here – apart from the Po Valley area – than in the rest of Italy. Short, dry summers are followed by misty autumns and very cold winters. A challenge that the Piedmontese winegrowers successfully meet: Alongside Tuscany, Piedmont produces most of Italy's finest wines with unmistakably full-bodied, multifaceted aromas, which are due to these special climatic conditions. The red grape variety Barbera dominates, followed by Dolcetto and Nebbiolo, from which the famous Barolo is made. The vines thrive between 150 and 400 m above sea level on different soils – from loamy soils for a multifaceted bouquet to lime-rich sandy soils, which promote a strong structure in the wine.
