In 1960, twenty-two-year-old Hideyuki Miyakawa left Maebashi, Japan, to explore the world on his Yamaguchi 125 motorcycle. His travels brought him to Italy, where he stopped in Rome during the Olympic Games and then traveled to Turin to attend the Motor Show. It was there that he met the charming Marisa Bassano, a young woman from Piedmont who wore a kimono to present the new Lancia model. A spark ignited between them, leading to a shared life filled with love, partnership and a big family with seven children. In 1983 they founded Bulichella, a social farming project aimed at welcoming and reintegrating young people into society through immersive contact with nature. From the beginning, the estate embraced organic viticultural practices, becoming one of the first in Italy to do so when it was still very uncommon.This commitment to the environment transformed the 42 hectares of the estate into a sanctuary of biodiversity, essential for the wellbeing of the ecosystem and the production of quality wines. Today, after more than forty years, Bulichella stands as one of the most significant wineries in the region, looking to the future with the third generation.
