Bio Vio

Great vines have always been grown in most suited areas in the hinterland of Albenga, along the gentle valley that, starting from Bastia, home of our company, follows the course of Arroscia, moving away gradually from the great Albenga plain to reach Ranzo and the lands of the province of Imperia. The use of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers does not belong to the local tradition and we have not done anything but adapt to the customs of the past. Growing Organic is not a technical nor economic choice: it is simply cultural. The perception of what we were doing, communicated in a simple and without frills way – especially by word of mouth – has become quickly very popular with the best wine shops and the best restaurants in Liguria and beyond. Names like MaRen, Aimone, U Basti, Bacil and Gig, more than the classic Pigato, Vermentino, Rossese e Granaccia, have attracted wine lovers as synonymous with quality and entirety in production: wines, you know, are not produced by the will of an individual but of the entire family. The newest wine, “Bon in da Bon” (“Really good”), was created with the grapes of a particular cru, harvested late and vinified with the methodologies of our ancestors.

Cascina Delle Terre Rosse

Terre Rosse is one of the most important wine realities in Western Liguria, on the Mànie upland, in the hinterland of Savona between Finale and Noli. The author of its success is Vladimiro Galluzzo, serious winemaker who in 1985 took over the family company investing on quality. In 1990 the building of a new winery, combined with the restoration of vineyards, gave rise to an ascent in terms of image immediately rewarded. One of the bets launched was the production of Solitario, an important red wine from grenache, barbera and rossese grapes. The faith for white wines remains, particularly for Pigato and Vermentino. The wines offered are evidence of success tied to the will and passion of a character that has become a point of reference. In the winery Vladimiro is supported by the Oenologist Giuliano No. Over four hectares of owned vineyards, for a total of 30,000 bottles produced.

Claudio Vio Azienda Agricola

The Vio family has been characterized by passion for winemaking for at least half a century.

The family’s passion for winemaking dates back to the early 70s. Ettore and Natalina began at that time to bottle wines sold in bulk up to that point. The small but modern winery is located in the municipality of Vendone; the surface of the plots is of about three hectares, of which two are vineyards.

Quality is the philosophy of this company: it is reflected in the meticulous care of the vineyards and the well equipped winery, where nothing is left to chance and is constantly improved and updated.

Cantina Paganini

The Paganini winery stems from a long established familiar tradition.
A meticulous recovery of old vineyards located around the wine cellar at the foot of the Perti rock sets out in the Eighties. Some of them had even been explanted and replaced by other cultures.
Cultivation is made more diffcult by the typical terraces, “fasce” as they are called by the locals, which host no more than two or three rows of vine each, but allow a better sun exposition compared to flat lands. Besides, in night time they enjoy the heat released by the stones which make up the walls.
The species of grape which have been planted in the years are mainly Vermentino and Pigato, the two d.o.c. whites from western Liguria. Grafts derived from the traditional “cultivar” of this area have been used.

Sartori Luigi

The company is located in an area ideal for grape growing and wine production. The soil surrounding the winery is sedimentary and the Pigiato logs that are grown are very ancient.

Cantina Sancio

The Sancio company is situated on a very impressive hill. Riccardo Sancio runs with passion and care both the production of wine and the restaurant of his property, where you can taste local produce and drink excellent wines made on site.
