BRUNA LIGURIA, ITALY
Back in 1970 Riccardo Bruna took the then unusual step of starting a new domain. Inspired by the extraordinary quality of his family vineyards’ fruit he expanded the vineyard area, always seeking the best terroir for their beloved Pigato. It was typicity above all that he sought in his wines, and his daughter Francesca and her husband Roberto and sister Annamaria have followed his lead as they gradually took his place in the vines and the cellar, creating finely-crafted wines from unique single vineyards and distinct soils. Methods are simple and traditional. The wines are natural and elegant, never pushed, and they burst with life and that elusive magic which comes with a sense of place. They are consistently hailed as among the very best of the region.
