The WineHunter Awards 2025 are out! Quila has scored 3 red bubbles this year. Here's some info about the winner:
«Time ago, while driving around I noticed this vineyard and asked my agronomist if he knew who that crazy man was that had planted a vertical row vineyard on such a steep slope. He said he didn't know. Wintertime of 2023, a friend of mine asks me whether I could be interested in renting a vineyard in Roero. Of course I was, I've lived in Roero for 5 years and wanted to make Roero wines too. And that was the „crazy vineyard”. I asked the owner how on Earth he had worked on this „slide”, one can just roll down while driving the tractor. He said that actually the horizontal line vineyard is more dangerous and that his brother-in-law killed himself in this way. The latter was ... „Jeff”, the winegrower my Langhe Nebbiolo is dedicated to! The circle closed. I couldn't say „No”, so I took the vineyard over.
On July 6th, 2023, the vineyard was severely hit by hail, that destroyed 2/3 of the crop. So this wine is my first Roero red from the „big, beautiful hail” vintage.
The artwork for this wine is a reproduction of a street art painting of Eli Revzin , from Tel Aviv, Israel, named “The pray of Otso”, the latter being a Finnish bear god (don’t ask!) The story behind the artwork is even longer than that of the wine, so I invite you to read about it on the website.» Bisso A , winemaker
