From this winery
  • Start up year: 1978
  • Oenologist: Paolo e Tommaso Bussola
  • Bottles produced: 70.000
  • Hectares: 14
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
