The first winery in the world to produce high quality wines that can also drink  wine sensitive and histamines food intolerant

The Winery Veglio Michelino & Figlio began in mid-1800, is a historical family agriculture winery located in Diano D’Alba Piedmont region Italy, on the border of Serralunga one the most important territory for the production of Barolo docg wine in the heart of Langa territory, Today UNESCO World Heritage.

Today the owner, fourth generation, is Mr. Veglio Osvaldo, that from the beginning of 1990 has succeeded his father Veglio Michelino, who nonetheless still the age of 80 continue to work in the family business, in the vineyard and winery as support for the son, creating a mix of experience and innovation which immediately increased the production until the first years of 1990, introducing the existing vineyards of Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo vineyards of Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Moscato, thus also increasing sales in countries where they operate in the world.

Veglio Osvaldo besides being the owner of the winery is also from the 1998 the official winemaker with the brother in law Marco Marchisio, who came to work in the family business (as wine maker) since 2006.

The first wines, bottled and sold abroad were sold in the US.

Veglio Osvaldo speaks:

"Thanks to the passion, professionalism and searching by Sebastian Ramello in the world of wine and food intolerances started 5 years ago, we managed to get the first two wines Low Histamines DOC, dedicated to wines sensitive  and histamine food intolerant, with histamines below the 0.5 mg / liter, making sure that our winery today stands as one of the most important wineries in innovation and research in the world of wine. (more information about Low Histamines on the website: http://www.lowhistamines.com/en/home)

We produce the most important high-quality wines of the Langa territory and some of the most important wines of Italy and of the world such as Barolo DOCG, from the cultivation of our grapes from Nebbiolo planted in the territory of Serralunga suitable for the production of Barolo DOCG. Other wines we produce are: Moscato D’Asti docg, today considered the most important sweet sparkling wine in the world, Dolcetto D’Alba doc, Dolcetto Di Diano D’Alba docg, Barbera D’Alba doc, Barbera D’Alba Superior doc, Nebbiolo D’Alba doc, Langhe Nebbiolo doc, Barolo docg, Barolo docg Vigina (our cru), Langhe Chardonnay doc, Re Della Notte Extra Dry 100% Souvignon (Sparkling wine), and our two Low Histamines wines Dolcetto D’Alba doc Low Histamines and Barbera D’Alba doc Low Histamines.

The winery cellar consists of 7 departments including an external.

The new winery was built in 2000, and it is formed by two departments of vinification, the aging facility and the department of storage.

Grapes, prepared during the months of work in the vineyard, is brought to the cellar for soft pressing. The red wines are  vinified outside, white ones inside. The constant control of the temperatures, for not subjecting the wine to sudden changes too abrupt, and the natural stabilization of the color, with the skins which are not let for a short time in contact with the wine, are the two basic steps to maintain the perfumes, point fundamental of our production. The use of selected yeasts, preparing the wine storage in steel barrels or department where there are aging wooden barrels of 50 hl for the noblest wines.

Humidity and temperature are controlled to allow the wine properly matured. In the storage department, the bottles are kept for about six months in special baskets.

In July of 2014 he began working in the company the latest addition to the family: Veglio Simone (fifth generation of winemakers family), who just finished his studies at the enology school of Alba began to support his father and grandfather, the winery and the vineyards in the works.

In 2014 was inaugurated a new part of the winery, a new cellar for the maintenance of oak barrels for wine production noble Barolo DOCG and Barbera d'Alba DOC Superiore and the new tasting room entirely designed by the Italian artist and interior designer Francesca Ramello, boasting 1990 success first as a painter, then a sculptor, interior designer and conceptual photographer. As always, thanks to the artist Francesca Ramello, our wines for us seen as a work of art in their production are complemented by all the art forms recognized, from painting, sculpture, music, theatre, poetry and photography.

Important for us is that the winery during its growth has always managed to maintain the traditional character of our territory to go more and more in the production of unique wines
