THE COMPANY

Leonardo Bussoletti is a man, capable of making his dreams a reality. After spending the first few years as a wine salesman, he decided to make the leap and to become a winemaker. Examples of this professional path are not unusual in Italy and worldwide, but in the case of Leonardo, this choice was related to the Ciliegiolo and its production area. With the help of Federico Curtaz, he began his adventure as vigneron in 2008 and now, after only ten years, his wines are among the most representative of the terroir of Umbria. The new cellar in San Gemini now vinifies the grapes from Bussoletti’s vineyards in Narni, San Gemini, Penna in Teverina and Alviano (in the province of Terni, where Igt Narni is produced). With the arrival of Francesco Bordini, Leonardo deeply explored the world of organic winemaking, interpreting Ciliegiolo, Grechetto and Trebbiano, in different ways and confirming himself as a rising star in the viticulture of Umbra.

Umbria

Umbria

Umbria's climate is extremely variable: for example, in the north, around Lake Trasimeno, it is cooler than the Tuscan climate, while in the south, in Montefalco and Terni, it is Mediterranean. Soils range from marly, clayey, and sandstone-rich, while soils rich in clay, silt, and alluvial deposits are predominantly found in the Perugini Hills and Trasimeno Hills area, but there is no shortage of more calcareous areas. Over the years, enoic Umbria has made great strides and now produces a range of red and white wines from local and imported grapes that are sure to be of interest.
