Sette

Gino Della Porta and his close friend and superstar-enologist Gian Luca Colombo founded Sette in 2017 with the purchase of a 5.8ha hill in Bricco di Nizza, in Nizza Monferrato. They join the new generation of driven young winegrowers who experiment with new and ancient techniques to express their vision of wine free from cultural and regional expectations while employing the most ecological methods possible. Certified organic since 2018 and in conversion to biodynamics in 2020, their terroir is composed of sandy limestone, chalk, and a wide variety of other siliceous geological formations on steep hills with great variations of soil grain. Their broad range includes dry, skin-contacted Moscato and amphora-aged Grignolino, and their main focus is their Barbera d’Asti DOC (though technically in Nizza DOCG) and Barbera Nizza DOCG from 80-year-old vines. There are no rules or cellar recipes beyond appellation requirements and every season determines their strategy,
