La Vecchia Posta

Piedmont | Colli Tortonesi | Avolasca

The vines of La Vecchia Posta sit high in the Colli Tortonesi amid the gentle foothills of the Ligurian Apennines. Here Roberto Semino cultivates 3.5 hectares of vineyard dedicated to native grapes of the Piedmont, where the Tortoniano soils are ideally matched. Roberto was among the first to farm organically in Italy starting in the 1980s. Spontaneous ferments, few to no added sulphites, allow for the pure expression of the high hills and their proximity to forest, mountain, and sea.

La Vecchia Posta 2021 "Saliceto" Vino Bianco (Cortese)

Much like in Gavi, cortese has a long history in the Colli Tortonesi. Roberto’s cortese is grown organically at high elevations in the silty, fossil-rich soils of Avolasca. This wine is pressed and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel. The wine is then aged in stainless tank on the lees with light battonage. After 6 months the wine is bottled with very little sulfur.
