i. Biography
The Essentials A sparkling-wine house is often defined first by its founding conditions: role, year, and place. For Col Vetoraz, those coordinates are co-founder, 1993, and Loris Dall’Acqua. The co-founder title matters in trade terms because it places the work at the point where standards are set, not merely maintained. Quality in this register is not an abstract claim; it is a production target repeated until it becomes a house measure. In 1993 at Col Vetoraz, Loris Dall’Acqua framed that target plainly: to produce the best sparkling wine in the region and to become a benchmark for quality. That is a narrow brief, and a demanding one. It ties the work to consistency, regional standing, and what each bottle is expected to prove in the glass. Col Vetoraz, understood through this lens, is a project built around sparkling wine with a defined sense of place and a controlled house identity. The essential facts remain spare: a founding role, a defining year, and a body of work organized around ambition, discipline, and regional quality.
Signature
A signature range in sparkling wine should show variation without losing the hand of the house. Loris Dall’Acqua’s signature wines include Superiore di Cartizze, Extra Brut Cuvée Ø, Extra Brut Cuvée 5, Extra Dry Cuvée 13, and Brut Coste di Levante. Read together, they mark a portfolio built across differing expressions of dryness, structure, and style. Superiore di Cartizze sits as a named expression with clear portfolio weight. Extra Dry Cuvée 13 sets another point in the range, while Brut Coste di Levante extends the sequence through Brut style. The distinctions matter because they show how a house can work within sparkling wine by adjusting expression while holding to a common standard. The signature is not uniformity. It is the controlled articulation of a family of sparkling wines. Through Col Vetoraz, Loris Dall’Acqua’s work presents excellence as something built through nuance, repetition, and the refinement of a house style over time.
In Their Words “We wanted to produce the best sparkling wine in the region and thereby become the benchmark for quality.” “Our many award-winning wines are the quality benchmark for the region.”
