Cantina e Vini

The farm is located in southern Lombardy, Italy, in the village of Canneto Pavese (PV), and was founded in 1997 by William Colombo and his family. All the vineyards of our farm sit on the slopes of a hill, hystorically named Bricco dei Roncotti (the word "bricco" means very steep). In the 1997 the Roncotti hill reborned. It was the constancy and the will of my father, who died in 2018, to guide us in the recovery of the hill. Despite the vineyards layed abandoned, too difficult the cultivation and very few the production, we didn't lose heart and started an incredible job, believing in this amazing hill, sure of the potential in the production of excellent wines. As climbers we knew that where it is difficult, the best results are achieved. The steep slopes weren't a problem for our family of explorers and climbers. My dad Arnaldo climbed all italian mountains ranging over 4000 meters and many other peak up to 7000 during his exploration trips run in the seventies with my mum Maria Rosa, even accross Sahara desert without any technological help, except a compass. William is a snowboarder, with a passion for halfpipe, he won the Italian cup and partecipate to several world cup races. William is graduated in Environment engineering and could design waste water treatment plants and soil and groundwater remediation activities. Today high quality of a wine born in the vineyard and Bricco dei Roncotti for exposure, soil and slope is ideal for a perfect ripening of the grapes. Each season influence the characteristics of the final product and the wine results different every year, according to climate.

I nostri vini sono molto piacevoli e complessi, di straordinaria intensità e sono in grado di sostenere un lungo invecchiamento in bottiglia, grazie alle caratteristiche di stabilità e longevità derivanti dal terreno di origine e dalla tecnica di fermentazione ed affinamento utilizzata, sia per i rossi che per i bianchi. Questi vini possono presentare del residuo in bottiglia, che non altera, ma anzi esalta, le loro caratteristiche.
