Wonderful

Me and my friends, we had really good time! The girl was nice and all information was interesting to listen!
Also big advantage is that you have parking. We didn’t have any problems with it. The building inside and outside looks also great. Thank you for this experience!

Very nice winery tour

9/1/22

All-in-all, we had a lovely visit at the Bisson Winery where we learned about their interesting story and tasted some great wines. We just have a few suggestions for improvement, both for the booking website and the tour itself:
1) Based on the booking website, it is quite difficult to figure out exactly where the meeting point is. It would help a lot if the address was explicitly written on both the page and the booking confirmation.
2) Due to the above-mentioned address difficulties, another group was half an hour late for our tour so we were just waiting for them with nothing else to do. Luckily we didn't have any plans afterwards, otherwise this delay would have been even more unfortunate.
3) Because we weren't enough people on two tours, the English and Italian tours were combined, which unfortunately meant that the guide had to repeat everything (don't know why she didn't just do the whole tour in English and explain a few thing to the Italians if they didn't understand everything). This also took extra time, which we would have rather spent on the wine tasting.
4) Lastly, just a suggestion for Bisson: after such a nice wine tasting with great explanations about each wine, we were actually surprised that we didn't get any information about how to purchase the wine. It didn't seem like they really wanted to sell anything, which would just have been obvious to try :-)

Giro breve ma molto interessante e particolare, personale gentile e competente. La nostra degustazione prevedeva 5 calici e un po' di stuzzichini. Sul posto abbiamo poi aggiunto tagliere. Ottimi tutti i vini proposti e suggestiva la cantina.

Non avevamo mai fatto nulla di simile prima. Dopo questa esperienza ti accorgi che dietro ogni bottiglia c’è un mondo dietro di grandi idee, opportunità colte e grande coraggio.
Ì ragazzi dei professionisti. É stato divertente e soprattutto molto interessante. Consigliato!!
I ragazzi sono stati fantastici, molto presenti e preparati

Visita alla cantina Bisson molto interessante. Personale preparato e molto gentile. Degustazione di tre vini con due taglieri: ottimi sia i vini che il cibo, soprattutto la focaccia alle olive!

Misleading description and offer in nice location

10/1/23

The winery is in a nice location, but the english speaking tour was unfortunately quite difficult to understand and seemed our guide lacked detail/accuracy knowledge of the wine making process etc. this is quite common in tastings, but still a bit disappointing. The wines we tasted were quite standard whites and reds that had basically the same production process. I had maybe expected a bit more when paying for a package to taste their “finest wines”. Upon request we got to taste a Grenache “reserve” from 2015 which was interesting to compare with the 2020 Grenache which was the last of the 5 wines in the tasting.
More detail and more structured tasting with a “special wine” at the end

About Winery and Wines

"I was six years old. One day, one of my classmates invited me to join the harvest in his parents´ vineyard. I walked quickly up the steep trail with a pounding heart, not because of the exertion, but because of the excitement I was feeling. Once there I picked many bunches and helped with the manual pressing. The reward for my work was a beautiful basket full of grapes. When I got home, nobody was there. I seized the opportunity and pressed the grapes into a large pot and hid them. Every day I repeated the same operations I had observed in my friend´s cellar. When the fermentation was completed, I poured the wine into a bottle through a colander and simply couldn’t resist the temptation of tasting. My mother noticed the alcohol on my breath and I had to confess. A just punishment was inevitable, but in the meantime, my first wine was born." Pierluigi Lugano

Bisson wines saw the light at the beginning of 1978, when Pierluigi Lugano, Master of arts and highly regarded sommelier, conscious of the potential hidden in the rugged Ligurian wines produced by local farmers, decided to take his chance in the exploitation of grapes originating from the Eastern Ligurian coast. He began buying small lots of grapes from farmers all over the territory and producing wine in his own cellar, attempting many experiments with modern winemaking techniques, in order to understand how to appropriately handle the local grapes. The excellent results obtained, led to the rediscovery of native Ligurian wines which had practically disappeared, such as the "Bianchetta Genovese" and "Ciliegiolo", and contributed to the creation of new inspirations such as "Musaico", a red wine of great personality . After spending several years in handling purchased grapes, it was decided to plant and cultivate personal vineyards in order to achieve full control of the quality process of the wines. Cultivation entailing a strict limitation of pesticides in the Bisson vineyards is the challenge which is currently being pursued with great conviction, with the objective of guaranteeing quality and authenticity of their products.
