AboutAttilio Ghisolfi
In Bussia, on Barolo’s Monforte d’Alba side, the Ghisolfi family has built its estate around Nebbiolo. Gianmarco Ghisolfi joined the family farm in 1988, when it grew both fruit and wine grapes and bottled little wine. He introduced the Attilio Ghisolfi label, converted orchards to vineyards and expanded the holdings with land suited to Nebbiolo. The vineyards vary in elevation and exposure, with differing proportions of sand, marl, clay and limestone.

Nebbiolo comes from vineyards in Monforte, Monteu, Priocca and Treiso, set between three hundred fifty and four hundred metres. The sites face south and southwest, with marly, calcareous and clay soils. Skin maceration lasts five days at controlled temperature, and fermentation uses native yeast. Maturation takes nine to twelve months in small oak casks, followed by six months in bottle.
