THE WINERY

The winery's history dates back to the 1970s when Tommaso Bussola began working in the vineyards owned by his family. Over time, he developed a deep passion for winemaking and sought to create wines that reflected the unique terroir of the region. In 1983, Tommaso established his own winery, focusing on traditional winemaking techniques combined with modern innovations.
