 In the heart of the biggest crù of Langhe (Albesani – Borgese, Gallina and San Stefanetto) there are the vineyards of the family wine farm Busso Piero. Piero’s father founded it in 1953. Piero with the help of his wife, Lucia, his son Pierguido and his daughter Emanuela follows all the phases of production from the vineyard to the winery. The vineyards cover an area
8 hectares
, planted 250/300 metres above sea level and they produce an avarage of 35.000 bottles of wines a year.

 The main thing is the awareness of the territory. The unique characteristic of the soil and the ideal facing of the vineyard (south) make it possible to obtain a richer harvest of the component for the production of big wines. A politic of selection of the grapes and the rational use of winemaking techniques optimise the intrinsic quality of the origin of the product.
All of these conditions are favourable for the making of a great wine, yet they mustn’t be altered by any chemical and industrial compound. Piero’s awareness and approach is nature friendly. In the vineyard they apply the “organic procedure” to minimize the use of chemical products. Their priority is a viticulture respecting the soil, the vine tree, the environment; they brought back traditional methods and organic products in order to re-create and authentic vineyard.

 Everything is arranged in order to respect the fruit, its taste (its aroma and flavours) and its origin. The harvest is carried out entirely by hand, the date for picking the grapes is chosen after a careful analysis of their ripening stage. The bunches of grapes are placed in small cases to avoid squeezing which could cause the oxidation of the juice. The vinification bonds tradition to innovation. After the stemming process, the grapes are lightly pressed, then put into temperature regulated vats. Each vineyard has its own parcels, and each parcel its on vinification and vat. Such a rigorous selection gets done in order to highlight the quality and uniqueness of each type of soil of the property. Most wines mature in large oak barrels and a few of them in barrique barrels, always paying the outmost attention not to hide the wines originality but to exalt their typicality.
