Vinchio Vaglio: the Nest of Barbera

The name results from both Vinchio and Vaglio Serra villages where 19 vine growers used to live and founded the cooperative in 1959.

We are located in Piedmont, Monferrato, core zone of UNESCO World Heritage Patrimony, right at the foot of the Alps.

Nowadays the cooperative represents 192 family vine growers who take daily care of 450 hectares mostly planted in Barbera grapes (60% of our production) and all other indigenous grapes from Piedmont such as Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Ruché, Albarossa, Grignolino, Arneis, Cortese, Moscato and Brachetto.

Our territory is characterized by a distinctive terroir of calcareous soils and sandy soils in Vinchio and mostly clay soils in Vaglio Serra what makes the Barbera of Vinchio Vaglio unique for the structure (white soils), elegance(sandy soils) and aromas (clay soils).

The winery mixes very traditional viticultural methods, like manual work in the vineyards including hand harvesting with modern practices, such as temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, solar panels and a high tech bottling line.

Our winery is surrounded by the path of the nests (“il sentiero dei nidi”) that opens onto the Natural Reserve of Val Sarmassa, an incredible overview of our landscape and biodiversity mixing steep slopes hills vineyards, woods, and asparagus cultivation.
