For four generations the Ghisolfi family has been producing quality wines from its own vineyards in Bussia Soprana in Monforte d'Alba, one of the most prestigious wine-growing areas in the Langhe. The work in the vineyard and in the cellar is carried out as in the past, with love and passion; a common thread between the generations.
Since 1852 the excellent quality and genius of the wine and the professionalism and helpfulness of the producer have remained unchanged, always combined with the excellent relationships of honesty and trust established with customers, many of whom were already linked to this tradition by their predecessors.
Our aim has always been to make the most of what is offered by the vineyards of the Langhe, in particular those located in Bussia Soprana on the Tre Pile side, a prestigious area for the production of wine from which the company has taken its name. In 1980 Alberto Ghisolfi joined the company and invested in the search for the best soils in order to increase the quality of the products while maintaining intact the processing techniques and farming traditions. His son Carlo, a graduate of the Alba Oenological Institute, has recently joined the company. With his innovative ideas, he currently oversees the production of the farm's wines, always respecting the family traditions but above all the unmistakable characteristics of the grapes from our territory.
