Bio Vio- Winery Growing Herbs along with Olive Grooves
The name Bio Vio comes from the name Bastia, which is the location of the Bio Vio wine farm. The Vio family who started the farm, have been growing herbs for generations on the plans of Albengo, along with olive groves and vineyards along the Arroscia Valley, high up onto the slopes of Ranzo. The use of pesticides, fertilizers and suchlike chemical products is not part of the Bio Vio tradition and organic farming is not a technical or economical choice – it is simply engrained in the local culture.
Over the years and mainly by word of mouth, the Vios have come to occupy a significant place in high-quality products in the area and beyond.
In 2017, the winemakers at the farm were awarded “Grower of the Year” by the Guida del Gambero Rosso, the first Ligurian to receive this award.
Different Labeled Wines
The wines produced on the farm are the Grand-Pere Pigato Doc, the Bon in da Bon Pigato Doc, the Marene Pigato Doc, the Aimone Vermentino Doc, the U Bastio Rossese Doc, the Gigo Granaccia IGT, the 4C Rose IGT and the Passito Pigato Doc.
Famous Cellar of the Winery
The Bio Vio Winery is famous for its didactic cellar known as the Cantine Didattiche which is not only a wine cellar but a place to learn about traditional life and rituals of the local culture. The cellar brings people closer to agriculture, teaches individuals about sustainable agriculture, teaches visitors about the wine-making process and cultivating land for wine and allows for the tasting of products made at the farm.

Absolutely Lovely!
Family run vineyard, intimate experience with their own amazing organic food perfectly paired and served with their delicious wine. Atmosphere was pristine. They will give you directions to their vineyard if you would like to see where the grapes are grown. If I could give them more than 5 give stars I would. It is a must see on your trip! Grazie!!
Fabulous place!
We were so surprised to see a super stylish and new restaurant actually in nowhere... we suggest sitting down near the kitchen, there is an open space kitchen where the Chef is the owner's daughter. The wines were superb, and the food was very fresh and delicate. We loved everything!
Highly recommendable experience
One of the nicest winetastings we ever had. The Vio family are winemakers, who truly love what they do. And that can be seen and felt in every little detail. Starting with a warm welcome, to an interesting tour around the premises and the tasting itself, that not only came along with many informations, but also specialties of the region to try and a fantastic olive oil produced by the family, too. All in all: A wonderful experience with most delicious and rare wines, worth trying!
