Sette Società Agricola Semplice
Gino Della Porta and Gian Luca Colombo founded Sette to break the mold in Nizza Monferrato. Their organic and biodynamic Barbera wines from the Nizza DOCG are bold, layered, and expressive. The Barbera d’Asti DOC and Nizza DOCG are highlights, offering savory, textured wines that balance tradition with experimentation. Their amphora-aged Grignolino and dry, skin-contacted Moscato are playful, energetic wines that defy expectations.
