At the Cooperative

We visited the Viticoltori Associati Vinchio-Vaglio Serra in Vinchio to sample and purchase wines. The cooperative association was created on February 26, 1959 by 19 vine-growers from Vinchio and Vaglio Serra. It counts now 224 members, who are owners and tenants of about 320 hectares of vineyard. These vineyards are concentrated for the most part in Vinchio and Vaglio Serra. Only a resctricted part is situated in the neighbouring villages (Incisa Scapaccino, Cortiglione, Nizza Monferrato).

The cooperative is unusual as the wines are stored in large metal containers that look like gasoline pumps. Locals can come with large containers and fill up with wine by the liter.

The wines are very good. The Vigne Vecchie Barbera D'Asti Superiore is one of their best.
