The winery is located in Morgex, a small town just a few kilometres from Mont Blanc. The business started in 1985 when Piero regained the family land and bought other lands from “Curé Bougeat”, historic promoter of the famous Blanc de Morgex wine in 1960. Piero and his family started to cultivate the indigenous Prié Blanc grape with great passion at altitudes that can reach 1,200 metres preventing the development of insects, such as the moth.
The area, which is planted with vines in traditional low pergola stone terraces, reaches 5,000 square metres. The winery produces the white Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) wine. The abbot Alexandre Bougeat, who sold his lands to Piero, was born in Ayas in 1916, and after following his priestly vocation, he became the parish priest of Morgex in 1946. more

He was a man of culture who had interests in theology, but also in agriculture, antiques and the traditions of the Aosta Valley. He can be considered a precursor of the modern winemaker, since he was able to recognize in Blanc de Morgex a quality product to be consumed not only privately, but also to reach the most prestigious wineries and wine bars. He devoted himself to the cultivation of vineyards without ever putting aside his priestly duties. In fact, starting from the 1950s he began to refine the processing of Blanc, even with techniques that at first sight are not accepted by the Morgex winemakers because they are different from the tradition. In 1964, he made his first bottling, beginning the marketing of Blanc de Morgex outside the regional areas.
The winery is located in Ruine of Morgex village, La Ruine frazione and was founded in 1999. The lands in the region have always been linked to the cultivation of the indigenous grape Prié Blanc - a “heroic” cultivation that takes places in a traditional way with low pergola terraces, both to protect the grape from low temperatures and to allow it to grow at high altitudes.
