Bulichella · Suvereto, Toscana
The winery with roots in soil, family and a long Japanese adventure
Bulichella ligger ved Suvereto på den toscanske kyst, hvor havluft, varme marker og økologisk dyrkning mødes i vine med både ro og dybde. Det er vinhuset bag Villa Biancas Bulichella-vine.
History
From Maebashi to Suvereto
The story begins with Hideyuki Miyakawa, who as a young man traveled from Japan to Europe on a motorcycle. In Italy, he met Marisa Bassano, and after years in Turin, the family continued towards Tuscany. In 1983, Azienda Agricola Bulichella was founded at Suvereto as a place where agriculture, community and respect for nature should go together.
Bulichella blev tidligt drevet med en økologisk tanke: jorden skulle behandles som noget levende, ikke bare som noget man udnytter. I dag er gården stadig forbundet med Miyakawa-familien og med en idé om vin som et udtryk for sted, mennesker og årgang.
The space
Suvereto close to the sea
Bulichella ligger i Val di Cornia nær middelalderbyen Suvereto. Området er kendt for varme, lys og en kystnær friskhed, som giver vinene deres balance mellem moden frugt, struktur og let saltet mineralitet.
Production began with Sangiovese, Vermentino, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Later, the winery has continued to work with, among others, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Grenache to find the grapes that best tell about Sovereto's soil and climate.
The wines at Villa Bianca
Five bottles from the same house
Tuscanio Bianco shows the bright, fresh side of Bulichella. Rubino is the open red for the table. Coldipietrerosse and Montecristo go deeper into the Suvereto DOCG with Cabernet, Merlot and Petit Verdot, while Hide is the winery's pure Syrah with dark fruit and spicy calm.
Read the page as a background for the wines: not as a technical data sheet, but as the story of why exactly Bulichella fits into Villa Bianca's small southern European universe.
To the table
Wine, cheese and enough time
The Bulichella wines are chosen for the kind of table where the bottle does not stand alone: cheese, a simple dinner, good bread, some salt and conversations that are allowed to linger.
