Colline Novaresi D.O.C. Vespolina

Colline Novaresi DOC Vespolina represents a wine excellence from the hills of Borgomanero and Cureggio in the province of Novara. This wine is made exclusively from Vespolina grapes, an indigenous variety that is best expressed in this hilly area at an elevation of 350 meters above sea level.

The 2016 vintage produced a ruby-red wine, with more or less intense hues reflecting the concentration of the Vespolina variety. On the nose, it displays a vinous and fruity aroma, characterized by notes that evoke a complex and inviting bouquet.

In the mouth, Vespolina presents a dry and harmonious taste, confirming its elegant and well-balanced nature. The wine's structure is enriched by aging in Allier wood casks for12 months, which helps to further develop complexity and complement its characteristic fruity aromas with notes of underbrush.

Bottle aging for a minimum of6 months completes the process, allowing the wine to mature and fully express its distinctive qualities. This Vespolina DOC is particularly appreciated by connoisseurs for its ability to express the terroir of the Colline Novaresi in every sip, representing an authentic testament to the local viticultural heritage.

With an alcohol content of 12.5%, this wine is distinguished by its lightness and freshness, making it ideal to enjoy with local and international cuisine, elegantly enhancing any convivial occasion.

Someone said that in a glass of wine there's a man's life... for us it's much more than that. We are a small winery with a long history, located in the area of Upper Piedmont. 

Four generations of Zanetta spent in the vineyards and cellars. Since the last years of 1800 the families of Elena's great-grandparents' great-grandparents used to go with carts to work in the vineyards of Cureggio and then transform in their cellars and then resell an excellent product. Later Elena's grandparents, Angelo and Angela, with more modern means and partly renewing the cellars, continued these activities assisted, since he was a boy, by his son Giuseppe; a life of work, his, made with great enthusiasm and always supported by an inexhaustible passion. In the last years of 1900 Giuseppe realized one of his dreams: to replant and expand the ancient vineyard of Cureggio.

Hard work, constant commitment and great passion without ever giving in to adversity, not only atmospheric, have led to the realization of the current reality: "Madonna dell'Uva". We have been producing, for four generations, excellent red wines, rare, well balanced, native and pure.

Our company is located in the municipalities of Cureggio and Borgomanero, in the province of Novara. We want to introduce you our wines not only because they are really good, but also because they represent a typical regional rarity.
The wines produced are all pure Colline Novaresi D.O.C. wines.
