The Verha Wines project

was born in 2022 with the intention of offering to our consumers a fresh daily wines, highly drinkable but always with the expression of our territory and our terroir.

In addition to the purely organoleptic aspect, the project also has a social impact, as the grapes used for this project, which are not owned, come from some farmers neighboring the Elena Fucci estate in the municipality of Barile.

Before Covid, these farmers used to trade these grapes with private individuals mainly from Campania, who bought the precious Vulture grapes to produce their own wine in full “garagiste” style.

During and after Covid these buyers failed and our farmers no longer knew where to sell these grapes. The risk of abandonment of these vineyards has therefore become very great, and after long periods of flattery, it was decided to buy them, support our territory and start this new project.
