Bussola Tommaso

A story of passion and enthusiasm

In 1977, Tommaso Bussola, a young passionate man with a stubborn and inquisitive personality, decided to start working in the small winery owned by his uncle Giuseppe. At the beginning of his adventure, he faithfully followed the Valpolicella Classica tradition, personally overseeing production under the name of ‘BG’ at the time. The length of time the wines were kept in barrels was short and predetermined and Tommaso felt the need to experiment with something different.  

Philosophy

Since the first vinification process carried out by Tommaso in 1983, the history of our winery has continued with a clear and strong desire for experimentation and empirical research, under the guidance of a constantly evolving personality. Innovating processing techniques, in the vineyard and in the winery, is our daily challenge, without straying from tradition. Year after year, we try to enhance what our land gives us to make wines that represent us.

During the harvesting period we pick our grapes strictly by hand, carefully selecting each bunch, starting with the grapes to be dried and then the grapes destined for immediate pressing. 

Lastly, our commitment to the land results in using natural methods, from fertilising the soil to pest prevention. We love our land and respect it by trying to exploit what nature gives us every day, producing excellent wines using a long process that involves patience within the limits and potential of each one of our vines.
