Sustainability and tradition: The future of viticulture according to Bosio Family Estates

 Nestled in the heart of the hills of Santo Stefano Belbo, amidst a landscape that evokes the works of Cesare Pavese and Beppe Fenoglio, stands Bosio Family Estates. Since 1967, this estate has embodied a passion for viticulture and respect for the land.

As founders of a wine heritage that speaks of tradition and innovation, the Bosio family has recently expanded its horizons with the acquisition of the Bel Colle winery in Verduno, further elevating the quality of their wines and reinforcing their dedication to Barolo and Barbaresco, as well as to indigenous white wines like Alta Langa.

The secret to the success of Bosio Family Estates lies in a viticulture approach deeply rooted in respect for the environment and biodiversity, deemed essential for producing superior quality wines.

In the vineyard, each practice is implemented with the aim of preserving the landscape and the health of the soil, a commitment reflected in the choice of sustainable agricultural practices and the rejection of invasive treatments. In the cellar, the philosophy is to “act by subtraction,” avoiding unnecessary interventions that could alter the natural evolution of the wine.

This method, which values the purity and authenticity of the product, is part of a vision that sees respect for the land and sustainable production methods not only as an ethical choice but also as a guarantee of quality.

In recent years, Bosio Family Estates has earned significant accolades in the form of environmental and quality certifications, including Equalitas, IFS, VeganOK, Organic, and Amfori. These certifications not only attest to compliance with standards of excellence but also recognize the company’s ongoing commitment to environmental protection and social responsibility.

Equalitas, for example, is a specific certification for the wine sector that guarantees sustainability in a 360-degree manner, covering economic, environmental, and social aspects of the entire supply chain. VeganOK, on the other hand, certifies that the products do not contain animal-derived ingredients, a detail that meets the growing demand for vegan-friendly wines.

The Organic certification confirms the absence of pesticides and synthetic chemicals, in line with agriculture that respects natural cycles. The introduction of the “Bosio Family Estates” brand marks a new era for the company, emphasizing the concept of “glocal”—firmly anchored to local roots yet projected towards a global dimension.

This vision is strongly supported by the awareness that the local heritage, also recognized by UNESCO, is not only a treasure to be preserved but also a resource to be shared globally. With every glass of wine produced, Bosio Family Estates demonstrates that it is possible to combine love for tradition with innovative and responsible practices, making wine not only a product of excellence but also a symbol of a broader commitment to the planet.
