Buglioni

About Winery and Wines

Grape farmers Valpolicella’s family - thanks to the courage and foresight of Alfredo Buglioni and his son Mariano, chose to abandon the fashion industry in the early 90s and, since then, has been devoted to winemaking. Without any knowledge on how to approach the first 3.5 hectares of vineyard purchased with the house where the family still lives, today the two "Teste Dure" grow their own grapes on 50 hectares of vineyards in Valpolicella Classica and 5 hectares in Lugana, organically run since 2019. This strong passion leads Alfredo and Mariano Buglioni to produce distinctive and elegant wines with native Valpolicella grapes alongside some more unusual and almost forgotten ones to highlight the authentic character of the territory. These wines express an individuality also told in 5 experience places in Verona and Valpolicella, where different cuisine proposals enhance each label. You can try typical “cicchetti” in Osteria del Bugiardo, grilled meat in Locanda Buglioni or at Enoteca del Bugiardo and seafood in Piscaria. Buglioni has also designed spaces to enjoy a relaxing break among vineyards and olive trees in the Dimora Buglioni or to live the city of Verona sleeping in one of the Residenze (apartments) in downtown.

The company now boasts the production of 14 labels: alongside the great classics - Amarone Riserva, Amarone, Recioto, Ripasso and Superiore - we find white, rose, sparkling and sweet wines. In addition to the usual barrel ageing typical of Valpolicella wine production, Buglioni wanted to experiment with the more ancient amphora ageing for its Amarone Riserva and - with the new cellar - will approach cement. One of the peculiarities that has distinguished Buglioni wines since the first productions are their names: VALPOLICELLA RED WINES AMARONE RISERVA della Valpolicella Classico DOCG TESTE DURE AMPHORA AMARONE della Valpolicella Classico DOCG IL LUSSURIOSO SUPERIORE Valpolicella Classico DOC BIO 44 VERTICALE RIPASSO Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC BIO IL BUGIARDO SUPERIORE Valpolicella Classico DOC BIO (I’M)PERFETTO RECIOTO della Valpolicella Classico DOCG BIO IL NARCISISTA WHITE WINES LUGANA DOC MUSA BIANCO Trevenezie IGT IL DISPERATO ROSÉ ROSATO Trevenezie IGT ROSACIPOLLA SPARKLING BRUT BIANCO LO SPUDORATO BRUT ROSE’ IL VIGLIACCO ANCESTRALE IGT BIO MOLÌ PASSITO PASSITO ROSSO del Veneto IGT L’AFRODISIACO PASSITO BIANCO del Veneto IGT IL MONELLO
