The Winery: Piero Busso

Born in the 1980s from the passion of Piero and his wife Lucia, now assisted by their children Pierguido and Emanuela. The company is rooted in its relationship with the land, which it aims to both enhance and respect. Piero's vision is clear: to produce quality wine, enhancing the characteristics of the grape variety, planted according to precise soil and exposure characteristics, without forced choices based on market demands. Most of the vineyards are located in the municipality of Neive, while only a small plot of Nebbiolo for Barbaresco is in the municipality of Treiso, specifically the San Stunet cru. The vineyard is cultivated with the utmost care, knowing that a winemaker is primarily a farmer and must therefore respect the land he works: no chemical products, herbicides or fertilizers are used, preferring the use of natural compounds. The work in the cellar reflects the company philosophy: the processes are far from industrial, and the aim is to obtain a wine that respects the fruit, enhancing its original aromas and flavor. Fermentations take place in steel for all wines, in 10-hectoliter wooden vats with submerged cap for the "old vines" selections. After malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is transferred to wooden barrels for aging; large oak barrels are mainly used, while the use of used barriques has decreased over time but is still well-balanced today. The wines are therefore very elegant, refined, and express their typicality. All vineyard work and cellar operations are carried out personally by Piero and Pierguido, artisan winemakers who respect the territory.
