Our History: The Bonfante family has a long tradition and its roots in Nizza Monferrato, for two centuries, it has been producing wines in an area that represents the area of ​​excellence for the production of Barbera d'Asti. It is a family run business. The owner Marco Bonfante, graduated from the Oenology school of Alba, is an oenologist and deals with all-round production and company management. He is assisted by the oenologist consultant Gianluca Scaglione, the agronomist Daniele Eberle and his sister and partner Micaela Bonfante who takes care of the administrative management and logistic. The company offers an image of quality and seriousness-built thanking to a hard branding work that has led to its knowledge both in Italy and abroad. A few harvests were enough for it to become a highly representative reality of this territory. The grapes produced come from owned and managed vineyards and from selected vineyards, thanks to an intense and flourishing "nègoce" activity. All cultivation operations are followed by the company agronomist until harvesting. Thinning (also called green harvest) is carried out in the vineyard to reduce the production of the plant and improve the quality of the grapes. The passion for land and wine are the driving force of the company which follows processes with low environmental impact. Respect for the environment is the starting point: to obtain high quality wines one cannot ignore the care of the vineyards where the low yield per vine and the selection of the grapes, both before and during the harvest, are the basis.

The production philosophy reflects the unmistakable taste of the Bonfante house which is based on Marco's intuitions and preferences, made of simplicity and clarity. “The wines must be elegant.” For white wines the first objective is pleasantness; they must be fruity, mineral, without fermentation or aging in wood, they must reflect the characteristics of the grape.Structure, fruit, harmony and complexity are sought in red wines. The different vineyards and grapes are selected and separated during the harvest, allocating them to different processes, both vinification and refinement, depending on the objective to be achieved. The common point is always the balance between structure, acidity and alcohol. The aging in wood must complete the structure of the wine without ever overwhelming it.The target consumer, in particular for wines such as Albarone (Piemonte DOC Albarossa), Duedidue (Monferrato DOC Rosso), Bricco Bonfante Riserva (Nizza DOCG), Bussia Riserva (Barolo) and Menego Anniversario, is a demanding consumer. Lover of structured and powerful wines, which if left to refine for a long time express continually evolving notes, to be discovered over the years and collected, as in the case of Albarone, which wears a new label every year.
