Located in the Arroscia valley in western Liguria, the historic home for Pigato, Bruna is a tiny 7.5 hectare estate consisting of 5-6 vineyard plots, all planted on terraced vineyards carved out of the mountainside. Production in a top year is only 3000 cases. The vineyards are perched at 200-300 meters above sea level and only 15km from the Mediterranean. This area, known as the Maritime Alps, is known for its production of olives, cherries and aromatic herbs, such as rosemary, thyme and sage. Bruna is run by Riccardo’s daughter Francesca and her husband, Roberto. The estate has worked organically (not certified) since 2009.  Granaccia is a local biotype of Grenache found in Liguria and Bansigu means see-saw, in the local dialect, indicating that the wine is meant to be an easy and fun, but keeping it's assertive body.

Grapes: 70% of Granaccia, and Rossese, Barbera, Cinsault grapes, as well as a lower percentage of other varieties.

Soil: Lean, rocky soils, consisting mostly of sedimentary rock and blue calcareous clay.

Viticulture: Organic
