Our wines

VerdeVios is a certified organic estate in the Nizza area of Piedmont — the heart of Italy's most renowned country for the red Barbera grape. Every wine we make comes from organically grown Barbera from our own vineyards.
 

The Nizza area

​

For generations, Barbera was the everyday red of Monferrato. That changed in 2014, when Nizza became its own DOCG — shedding its former status as a sub-zone of Barbera d'Asti and standing on its own. It covers eighteen communes around the town of Nizza Monferrato and must be made from 100% Barbera. Our estate at Castel Boglione lies within this zone. Syrah QueenAmistapiedmontwine
Barbera here is bottled at several levels, each with its own rules. These are the classifications we work in:
 

Barbera d'Asti DOCG


​

The classic style — bright acidity and red-fruit character, made to be drunk with food.

 

Barbera d'Asti Superiore DOCG


​

A stricter selection with more structure. It requires a minimum alcohol of 12.5% and fourteen months' ageing, six of them in wood. 

 

Nizza DOCG

​

100% Barbera from the Nizza zone, and our most structured red. Minimum ageing is eighteen months, six of them in barrel. 

 

Nizza Riserva DOCG


​

The longest-aged expression. A minimum of thirty months' ageing, twelve of them in cask.

A sparkling rosé of Barbera, made by the traditional bottle-fermentation method.
