Our Visits: not a technical tour, but a real encounter
Visiting Bugno Martino is not your typical winery tour.
You won’t find slides, pre-made videos or textbook explanations here — we gladly leave those to sommeliers and big consortia. With us, you come for something else entirely: to meet us.
When you arrive, we almost always start in the same place: a walk among the vines.
Just a few steps in the vineyard are enough to understand who we really are. We tell you about our land, our farming choices, why we insist on working slowly, and why we believe that wine is born first and foremost here, in the fields.
Then we take a tour of the winery’s real spaces — the everyday ones: no showcases, just our daily work. And if the weather — and our legs — allow it, we walk all the way to the little lake, a quiet corner few people know, yet one that speaks volumes about the slow life we’ve chosen.
After the walk, we move into the cellar, among the tanks and the scents of aging wine. We show you where the wine grows, changes, and takes shape. We won’t overwhelm you with formulas or technicalities: we prefer to explain why we make certain choices, and not others. Because this is our way, because we believe in clean, honest wines that speak of their land.
And then comes the best part: the tasting.
It’s not a lesson, and it’s definitely not a test. It’s a conversation, an exchange, a toast together. It’s the moment when we shift from “how it’s made” to “why we make it.”
At Bugno Martino, you don’t come for a technical visit:
you come to meet a story — ours.
To share ideas, visions, doubts, choices. To understand why we decided to make wine in the first place, and why — despite everything — we still make it this way: stubborn in our heads, but open in our hearts.
There is something special about seeing wine being born in real time. We’re not talking about technical parameters: we’re talking about that moment when you stand in front of a tank filled with the scent of fermenting must, and you realize that inside there lies a piece of land, a year of work, an entire season of hopes.
Watching wine being made is like peeking behind the scenes of the life of those who produce it: the hands picking the grapes, the calm of fermentation, the silence of the cellar where time seems to slow down. That’s where wine becomes real, long before it’s bottled.
And when you finally taste it, that wine reveals much more than a name on a label. It tells the joy of a simple gesture: filling a glass, sitting together, sharing a story, an emotion, a memory. It’s a moment of truth that needs no technical language to be understood.
Authentic wine is exactly this: an encounter.
A way to get closer, to slow down, to enjoy a moment. Its magic isn’t in understanding everything — it’s in feeling something: something good, something true.
Sharing a glass is a small ritual that reminds us that life is made of moments worth sharing. And that wine, when it’s sincere, can still surprise us.
As we always say, the rest is for the sommeliers — they are wonderful at telling the technical side of wine.
We’ll be here, meanwhile, with a glass ready and a little time to share.
