The origins of the winery belong to the Colla Family, which has been growing vineyards in Piedmont since the middle of the 19th century. The territory of origin is Santo Stefano Belbo, a land of great Moscato, Langa that borders with the Monferrato. Generation after generation the family moves down to arrive in Alba, especially in Diano d’Alba, hill of excellence for Dolcetto, where in 1913 Paolo Colla was born.

Paolo Colla vinifies Dolcetto with great passion but dreams of Barolo. It is 1961 that manages to acquire a farm in La Morra where he can finally grow and vinify Barolo. From the beginning they are wines of great finesse and longevity, that gets important recognition in the main wine expositions of the time. In 1972 Marivanna Colla, Paolo’s only daughter, married a young man from Roero: Gianni Gagliardo. Gianni is a young boy with so much ambition and is Paolo, with paternal affection, to transmit his passion for wine.

In 1986 the Paolo Colla Winery became Gianni Gagliardo, and a very special new logo was chosen: a falling mask that symbolizes the depth of wine and its ability to create strong bonds between people. ” In Vino Veritas ”..In the early nineties, experiments were carried out on the Favorita vines, as well as an increase in the surfaces, and the vinification of the historic family vineyards. Just in 1990 Alberto, Gianni’s second son joined the winery. He gradually became passionate about the vineyard, which became his profession in 1998. After his studies in Enology, the firstborn Stefano joins the company. The new generation lives the wine with great passion, and immediately participates actively its thinking. It is in fact at the end of the decade that the family gradually begins to invest in new land from Barolo.

In July 2017 the family acquires Tenuta Garetto, a beautiful estate with 10 hectares of vineyard and winery in Agliano Terme. In the heart of the most premium Barbera area in the world, recently defined by the new appellation Nizza docg.
