Pavese Ermes Winery

The winery was founded in 1999, it is located in the village Ruine of Morgex. It is about lands that have always been linked to the cultivation of the native grape prié blanc; a ‘heroic’ cultivation that takes places in a traditional way with a low pergola, both to protect the grape from the low temperatures and to allow it to grow at high altitudes.
The family is the engine and the heart of the company and Ermes follows all the production steps that lead to the birth of the traditional Blanc de Morgex et de La Salle, classic method, aged in barrique (that was given the name of Ermes’son Nathan) and late harvest. The wine is named Ninive.
Ermes Pavese winery is in several prestigious guides of the sector.
