Viticoltori Associati di Vinchio Vaglio Serra
This magnificent, quality focused cooperative born in 1959, creates wines that many feel are the very reference point for Barbera d’Asti. Piloted by a dedicated group of winegrowers, with work in the vineyards and cantina overseen by the enologist Giuseppe Rattazzo, Vinchio Vaglio Serra creates Barberas and other wines from the finest vineyards in the Monferrato. Development of wine from the grapes of these vineyards, many of which cover a few acres at most, can only be managed by a larger entity, a cooperative of vinegrowers dedicated to quality versus bulk production. While the term “cooperative” sometimes conjures negative connotations, many Italian cooperatives create some of the best wines of their regions, particularly in Piemonte and Alto Adige (Vinchio Vaglio Serra ranked #1st at the 20th best Italian Cooperatives Test in 2017 by Weinwirtschaft), where steep, hillside farming is the norm, and vineyard plots are often parceled small.
Nowadays 192 family vinegrowers are 100% involved in the daily work of 450 hectares of vineyards, with a dedication to their environment (Vinchio Vaglio Serra is completely solar, a net contributor to the grid). Vinchio Vaglio Serra combines tradition with modern, clean practices to create beautiful expressions of indigenous varietals.
Despite the time-driven changes, the cooperative still maintains its original vocation: to preserve the health and vigor of the small growers through a collective and organized effort. Consequently, the region is safeguarded in a way that only companies producing viable incomes can ensure, companies with the mission of strong social themes reached through the concept of quality. From an undistinguished mass product we have come to differentiate grapes and vineyards. This results in a wide range of labels that embrace and showcase the regional oenological heritage. Not only in the Piedmontese DOC but also the large DOCGs such as Barolo, Barbaresco, Gavi, Asti, and Arneis and the great passion for Barbera interpreted by both large labels such as Sei Vigne Insynthesis and fresher, easier to drink wines with more of the typical varietal characteristics.
Headlined by their brilliant Barberas in the classic “Asti” style, many of which come from single vineyards, the wines created by this group of vinegrowers are perfect representations of their terroir. From the inexpensive “Piemonte Barbera”, to the classic “I Tre Vescovi”, to the bold expression of Barbera found in “Sei Vigne Insynthesis”, the Barberas from Vinchio Vaglio Serra evoke the beautiful land they come from. In addition to their Barberas, the winery has been a pioneer in reviving some ancient local varietals, like Albarossa, Ruche and Grignolino.
Finally, the magic of Vinchio Vaglio Serra’s sweet wines is indescribable. A delicious indulgence, the Moscato and Brachetto from these vineyards are a world apart from the mass production sweets that crowd shelves of worldwide markets. Careful work in the winery, as well as the perfect position of these vineyards, make the dessert wines from Vinchio Vaglio Serra sweet, but not cloyingly so, with a bright finish that makes even the most skeptical wine lover order another glass.
