THE WINEBAR
With the aid of Severino’s friend, Valerio Rossi, who just happens to be an extremely talented architect, we have created a setting that is both modern and relaxing. Mostly natural materials like wood and iron have been used, to make the winebar look as natural as possible. The architecture and furnishings are inspired by the winegrowing world, with the railings of the interior staircase are made from vineyard posts and wires and the old well reminiscent of the containers in which the winegrowers used to mix copper and lime together to use as a treatment for the vines.
The venue is arranged on three levels and is fully accessible to wheelchair users.
The entrance is on the ground floor, where there is a bar and an area for preparing cold dishes and sandwiches. Two display cabinets and a display/refrigerator contain all the foodstuffs, etc. used and available for sale. Both the cellar and the first floor are accessible from here.
Modern Plexiglas shelving in the cellar houses about 200 still and sparkling wines from all over the world. A constant temperature and the absence of natural light allow the conservation of rare and valuable bottles, like the collection of Barolo dating from 1958, which Severino Oberto’s father and grandfather produced in the family cellar in the Annunziata area of La Morra.
The bright and spacious first floor offers seating for about 40 and there is a large, solid oak table to seat groups of people who wish to pass a pleasant evening together. There are also two small lounge areas with comfortable armchairs and poufs, from which you can admire the view of the historical square of La Morra. Large windows which were once open arches make your time at “le vigne bio” unique. A terracotta statue of the Holy Virgin, which dates back to the 18th century and has been here for at least a hundred years, completes the façade of the building.
The room is equipped with a projector and screen that can be used for meetings, presentations and tasting courses.
The room can also be hired for private parties, Christenings and wedding receptions.
