- Bottles produced: 70.000

In 1977, in the classic heart of Valpolicella, with vineyards scattered between the municipality of Negrar and the hamlet of San Peretto, the oenological history of Tommaso Bussola was born, when he began working in his uncle Giuseppe's wine farm.
From the beginning he was able to impose his will to enhance the absolute quality of the wines produced, through careful and careful practices both in the vineyard and in the cellar, so much so that he became a great interpreter, as well as a point of reference for the appellation.
With a very personal style of combining precision and elegance with the extraction richness and management of ageing woods, today, assisted by his sons Paolo and Giuseppe, he always continues to amaze, imposing himself with products of absolute and very high value. Read more

| Harvest | The grapes for the production of our L'Errante are selected in the first week of September, placed in small wooden boxes and taken to the fruit cellar where they remain for 3 months to dry naturally. |
| Wine making | In December the grapes are carefully selected and pressed in special steel conical vats where, after about 10 days of maceration, fermentation with selected yeasts begins. Over the next 30 days, frequent pumping over and manual foliation operations are carried out to submerge the skins. After racking, the wine is transferred to stainless steel tanks to decant the coarse lees. After about 20 days, it is racked off and transferred to wood, where it completes its fermentation and maturation. |
