The wines of Piero Busso are grown in the heart of Italy’s Piedmont, in some of the finest vineyards of the area. This artisan, quality focused winery has as a focus to craft the best wine possible, while celebrating the terroir of their organically farmed vineyards.  Piero Busso continues to garner strong scores from publications like Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate and Italy’s most important wine review, the Gambera Rosso.  Join Pierguido Busso, whose grandfather founded the winery in 1953, for an evening of gastronomic decadence, as he leads us through his family’s current releases, at two fabulous restaurants in Toronto.
