This prestigious label from Bovio, a winery with a long-standing tradition in the Langhe area, encapsulates the excellence of the Barbera grape cultivated in one of the most suitable areas of Alba. The "Regiaveja" is a Barbera d'Alba Superiore, a wine that by law must undergo a minimum maturation of 12 months, with at least six in wooden containers, thus earning the "Superiore" designation.
Visually, the Barbera d'Alba Superiore "Regiaveja" is presented with a deep and seductive ruby-red color, which over the years tends to gain garnet reflections. On the nose, it showcases intense notes of ripe red fruits, such as plum and cherry, enriched by delicate spicy nuances and a light vanilla touch, a result of its elegant journey in wood.
On the palate, the wine displays extraordinary complexity with a perfect balance between soft tannins and a lively acidity, typical of the Barbera grape. This structure not only gives it a pleasant taste persistence but also great aging potential. The "Regiaveja" pairs splendidly with rich and structured dishes, such as braised meats, game, and aged cheeses.
Bovio winery, located in the heart of the Langhe, is renowned for its passion and respect for age-old winemaking traditions, which are reflected in every bottle. By purchasing this Barbera d'Alba Superiore, you choose a high-quality product, the result of an exceptional terroir and winemaking wisdom handed down through generations.
Therefore, we invite lovers of quality wine to discover the harmony and complexity of Bovio's "Regiaveja", a true gem of Piedmontese viticulture.

Winery history
The Bovio family has been in La Morra for generations. In the 1950s and 1960s Alessandro Bovio farmed grapes on a small scale. In the 1970s Gianfranco renovated the winery, and in the following years the estate began selling Nebbiolo and Barolo. Since then the estate has expanded and modernized the winery, and management has gradually passed to the next generations.
Production philosophy
The winemaking approach is founded on respect for tradition and the land: each vineyard is vinified separately to express the characteristics of the individual cru, with artisanal care in the vineyard and cellar and aging in large casks where appropriate. Attention is focused on patience, precise management of the parcels and fidelity to the character of the Langhe.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located in La Morra and partly in Castiglione Falletto, with estate crus designated as Annunziata, Rocchettevino, Parussi, Gattera and Arborina. The estate reports approximately ten hectares of vineyards distributed across the principal MGAs of the Langhe, with vinifications carried out separately by parcel.
Awards and recognitions
Bovio's wines have received high ratings from international critics: in particular, their Barolo expressions have earned high scores from James Suckling, Robert Parker and Wine Spectator across several vintages.
