Wine Tales at Berioli: Warm Smiles & Wonderful Sips

A Local Adventure

Nestled in the rolling hills of Magione, Cantina Berioli is the kind of winery that makes you want to move in. Irene greets us with a warm smile. Roberto, the owner and wine wizard, is there too—calm, cool, and clearly in love with his vines.

Before we sip, Irene takes us on a stroll through the vineyard. She talks about grape varieties, weather woes, and the eternal battle against plant diseases. But the real jaw-dropper? Roberto’s story. Once a chemist, he ditched the lab coat for muddy boots and became a biological winemaker. His wife wasn’t thrilled at first.

The Tasting Experience

From Cellar to Glass

After the vineyard, our next stop is the cellar—with the big barrels, cool air, and that magical smell of wine becoming wine. Then, the tasting begins. Glasses clink. Bottles pop. And the table? A feast—fresh bread, golden olive oil, ham, cheese. Every sip comes with a bite, and every bite comes with a story. We learn, we laugh, we drink. In that order… mostly.

Rainy day? Go. Scorching heat? Go—the tasting room is cozy and cool, and wine pairs beautifully with good company. We leave with full hearts, full brains, and, let’s be honest, full car trunks. Knowledge and wine: the perfect souvenirs.
