The estate covers 7 hectares between Lessona, Masserano, and Brusnengo, planted exclusively to native varieties: Nebbiolo, Croatina, and Vespolina. Primary production is Lessona DOC and Bramaterra DOC from these parcels. The Alto Piemonte volcanic soils, formed 300 million years ago, are the defining terroir element across the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-action-bar=\"\" class=\"flex justify-start ml-0.5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-text-300\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flow-root\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ml-1 mt-6 flex items-center transition-transform duration-300 ease-out\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"p-1 -translate-x-px\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Portovino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51503740059954,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/slakesf.com\/products\/colombera-garella-melascone-2022-rosso-alto-piemonte","provider":"SLAKE San Francisco Bottle \u0026 Sundry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
