Gianmarco and Attilio Ghisolfi<br />

Carlo Ghisolfi bought a small property of approximately nine acres in 1985 in what is now known as the "Cru Bussia" and started<br />

making wine. Carlo’s son and grandson expanded the property accumulating 21 additional acres of neighboring lands. The wines<br />

under the Ghisolfi label were made in 1988 and it included a Barolo Bricco Visette, which is the name of the hill of Carlo’s original<br />

nine acres. Until 1987, the land was used for both vines and other agricultural products. At that time, Carlo’s great grandson<br />

Gianmarco Ghisolfi had come into thefamily business and, with his father Attilio, converted most of the land over to grapevines in<br />

order to start producing wines under their own label. While not organically certified, the vineyards are eco-friendly and cultivated<br />

with a great respect for the environment. They do not use chemical fertilizers or herbicides (weeds are killed mechanically).<br />
