History

Carlo Colombera had grown grapes in the Bramaterra area since the early 1990s.

His son Giacomo, an Alba-trained oenologist, and the consultant Cristiano Garella launched the Colombera & Garella project in 2016.

They planted their first vineyard at Masserano and focus on Lessona and Bramaterra from native grapes.
