Beautiful Hill the pearls of the Langhe

Holidays
Bel Colle is located in Borgo Castagni, a locality that connects La Morra and Verduno, in a spectacular panoramic position on the hills of the Langhe.
This is one of the most fascinating areas of Piedmont, characterized by undulating hills planted with vineyards that are tinged with the warmest colors in autumn, forests, and ancient villages.
In this territory, an important tourist destination in the wine and food and cultural spheres, the Bosio family, originally from Santo Stefano Belbo and producers for four generations, acquired the Bel Colle winery in 2015, known for its Barolo DOCG and Verduno Pelaverga DOC: two labels that are worth the trip, along with the wide range of wines produced.
There are four Barolo vineyards in Verduno: Monvigliero, Breri, Boscatto, Neirane
In tune with the land and respecting the ideals handed down by the ancestors
Producers for four generations: Valter, Rosella and son Luca Bosio with wife Valentina
A story that
begins in 1975
in Verduno
Ambassadors of the Langhe and Roero territory in the world
In 1975, on the Borgo Castagni hill in Verduno, brothers Franco and Carlo Pontiglione with Giuseppe Priola founded the Bel Colle Winery, acquired in 2015 by the Bosio family.
However, 1967 is the year it all began, when Egidio Bosio and his wife Angela laid the foundations of the company, then as now family-run, with humility and sacrifice.
Today, Valter with his wife Rossella and their son Luca with his wife Valentina run the company, following the entire grape processing chain and equipping the winery with the most modern technologies.
The Wines
The wines worth the trip are Barolo DOCG and Verduno Pelaverga DOC
The west-south/west exposure and the calcareous-clayey soils with gypsum veins give the wines a unique olfactory profile in terms of intensity and persistence, together with an excellent structure and excellent color intensity.
The company philosophy is to produce quality wines while respecting traditions and meeting the taste of consumers, a goal achieved thanks to the collaboration with winemaker Paolo Torchio who led the winery from 1980 until 2015.
The company range offers numerous labels capable of satisfying the needs of the curious wine tourist and the most demanding guest.
The Barolo DOCG in the Pajorè and Monvigliero versions and the Verduno Pelaverga DOC are the labels that have allowed the company to win the greatest number of awards.
Barolo DOCG in the Monvigliero and Pajorè versions
The Monvigliero vineyard is a natural amphitheater facing Southwest; the particular microclimate enhances the production of a very fragrant and delicate Barolo wine with a balanced body and soft tannins that are never harsh.
This area is considered one of the best among all Barolo wine production areas.
Barolo Monvigliero wine can be considered a true Grand Cru; after aging for at least three years in oak barrels and bottle, it presents all the best characteristics that this wine can express, pairing perfectly with important dishes, red meats, game, and aged cheeses.
The Barolo DOCG Pajorè comes from Nebbiolo vineyards located in the municipality of Treiso and ages for 24 months in large 45 hl oak barrels.
The total surface area of the vineyard, composed of calcareous marl and clay, is 41 hectares at an altitude ranging from approximately 190 to 350 meters.
Completing the range
The range of Barolo wines also includes Barolo DOCG Bussia, produced with grapes grown in the historic cru of Monforte d’Alba, and Barolo DOCG Simposio.
The company also offers a special label dedicated to Barolo DOCG Riserva 10 anni.
The Nebbiolo grapes chosen to produce this wine are found in the vineyards located in the municipalities of Verduno Boscatto and Verduno Monvigliero.
For the first five years, Monvigliero and Boscatto age separately in 4,000-liter barrels, and for the following five years, they age blended in Allier wood barrels with a capacity of 8,000 liters.
Verduno Pelaverga DOC: the symbol of Verduno
The label reproduces a painting by the Alba painter Pinot Gallizio, a man of the Langhe who greatly loved the colors and flavors of this land.
Considered an aphrodisiac wine, Pelaverga DOC is made from one of the rarest grape varieties in Piedmont, Pelaverga piccolo, whose grapes are processed in purity.
It is to be considered a wine for connoisseurs and seekers of territorial specialties: it pairs well with cured meats, first courses, dishes with mushrooms, and fish-based dishes due to its characteristic fruity hints of strawberry, floral notes, and broad, intense spicy notes.

Products
The winery offers a wide choice of DOC and DOCG labels
The wide choice of Bel Colle branded wines is able to meet the tastes of demanding wine tourists curious to discover the peculiarities, even the lesser-known ones, of the territory.
The pearls of Langa
Here are some special wines: Alta Langa DOCG Cuvée Valentina Pas Dosé, Alta Langa DOCG Cuvée Valentina, and Langhe DOC Nascetta, made from the historic Piedmontese white grape variety recently rediscovered.
Reds and whites
Among the everyday reds, Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba Ape Reale, and Langhe Nebbiolo stand out, while among the superior reds are Barbera d’Alba Le Masche, Barbera d’Asti Nuwanda, and Nebbiolo d’Alba La Reala.
Tasting the white wines allows for a journey between Langhe and Roero: Langhe DOC Favorita, Roero Arneis, and Langhe Chardonnay.
Rosés and Sweets
Among the meditation wines or those to be tasted at the end of a meal accompanied by typical Piedmontese desserts including bònet or hazelnut cake, you can choose between Langhe Rosato, Spumante Brut Le Rosé, the passito wine Odré, and the characteristic Moscato d’Asti Turna Lunga.
The latter is an important wine also on an emotional level because Turna Lunga represents the first vineyard of Luca’s grandparents, Egidio and Angela, planted in Valdivilla in 1961.
From this vineyard with a significant slope, difficult to work and harvest, with east, south/east exposure, a deliberately limited quantity of Moscato is obtained, in order to concentrate the maximum qualitative potential that this vineyard can offer.
Alta Langa DOCG
Bel Colle’s wide range of wines allows you to choose a bottle suitable for an evening with friends, a formal gathering or an important gift

The PASSATO project
A return to the past to rethink the future
I am convinced that the agriculture of the future is one that knows how to respect the environment and recover the footsteps of our ancestors, while innovating.
This is the philosophy behind the PASSATO project, strongly desired by Luca Bosio, representative of the third generation, which takes shape in the production of organic wines respecting the environment and strengthened by the bond with the territory.
A range of wines born thanks to the teachings of his grandfather and father and the continuous attention to sustainable agriculture that respects the environment.
Under the PASSATO label, it is therefore possible to taste the following wines: Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, Langhe Nebbiolo DOCG, Barbera d’Asti Superiore DOCG, Barbera d’Alba DOC.
