The members of the Bussi Family have been growers and winemakers for 4 generations in Calosso, surrounded by the green hills of Asti. After WW1, Agostino Bussi began to make wine out of Barbera and Nebbiolo grapes grown on a small plot of land. Throughout the generations, passion and proud tradition have led the Bussi family to create honest and authentic wines.
The vineyards sit on steep mountain slopes of white calcareous, marl soils around Calosso, just one mile from the Langhe. The winery uses environmentally friendly practices only. The 25-60 year old vines are organically and dry farmed and
harvested by hand.
Piero and Federico, father and son, maintain traditional vineyard and winemaking practices. The fermentation is in concrete tanks and is spontaneous with native yeasts. No winemaking additives are used, the sulfite levels are 50-70 mg/L and the wines are very lightly fined or filtered. All the work in the winery is done by gravity with no pumps or pipes. Federico is committed to all of his father’s teachings and to continuing the family tradition.
