Buglioni
The Story
Buglioni was founded in 1993, when Alfredo Buglioni bought a farmhouse in the heart of Valpolicella Classico, with a small area of vines planted to local varieties. Without a winemaking background, the family began by selling grapes, building their understanding of the region through hands-on work in the vineyards. By 2000 they released their first wines, followed by Amarone a few years later. From early on, they focused on presenting their wines directly, developing a clear and independent style rooted in Valpolicella. Today, the estate farms vineyards across Valpolicella Classico and surrounding areas, alongside sites in Lugana and Bardolino. Working organically, they focus on native grapes such as Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, producing wines that range from fresh, approachable styles to more structured and age-worthy expressions
Winemaking
Work in the vineyard is central, with organic practices and manual harvests used to ensure balanced, healthy fruit. The aim is to preserve freshness while achieving full ripeness, whether for lighter styles like Bardolino or more concentrated wines such as Amarone and Ripasso. In the cellar, winemaking is precise and controlled, with careful fermentation and extraction to maintain purity and structure. Techniques such as appassimento are used where appropriate, adding depth and richness while retaining balance. Across the range, from the bright, mineral Lugana to the depth of Amarone, the focus remains on clarity of fruit, structure and drinkability, with each wine reflecting its origin and style.
