Vigin
ヴィジン
Rising young Barbaresco producer, terroir-first Nebbiolo.
Azienda Agricola Vigin is a small, family-run winery in the Trezzo hamlet of Treiso, at the heart of the Barbaresco DOCG zone in Piedmont, Italy. The estate traces its roots to 1947, when grandfather Orlando Viglino first planted vines in the natural amphitheater of the Rocche dei Sette Fratelli; his grandson Davide Viglino, trained as an enologist in Alba, revived the property and began estate-bottling wine in 2002 at just 22 years old. Farming barely five hectares, Vigin channels a youthful, independent spirit into wines that respect tradition without being bound by it, expressing Nebbiolo through single-vineyard bottlings such as the flagship Barbaresco 'Montersino' and the rare, small-batch 'Cottà' from a plot in neighboring Neive. Vigin is also part of 'Langa Style', a collective of young producers redefining Barbaresco and Barolo winemaking for a new generation.
