Elisa Semino is the moving force behind La Colombera, a small family winery in the Colli Tortonesi of Italy’s Piedmont region. Her father started to estate bottle in 1980, and Elisa developed a strong interest in the vines. Following Walter Massa’s example she focused her work on the native white grape Timorasso. Along with Massa she is credited with creating one of Italy’s greatest and most distinctive white wines. Today the list of prestigious producers from Barolo and elsewhere that have followed suit is long indeed. But the wines she makes with her brother and father remain at the top of the pack. One shouldn’t overlook the persuasive Barbera Vegia Rampana and the fragrant and refreshing Cortese Bricco Bartolomeo. The Croatinas are fantastic too.
