The Vinyard - Villa Bucher
Immersed in the green of the Umbrian hills, situated in the area of the middle valley of the Tevere, Villa Bucher estate is located with a panoramic view over the heart of Italy. Extended over 65 hectares, 6.5 of which designed for grapes production, for its position it benefits from a microclimate favourable to wine. The well-balanced harmony of climatic factors such as sun, light, air, ventilation and rainfall produces fruits capable of generating high-quality wines, true interpreters of the peculiarities of the territory. The various types of produced grapes are all hand-picked and vinified separately, in order to derive from each the best quality result.
Familiy & Tradition
Hans Bucher bought the property 30 years ago with the vision of producing his own Italian wine. Love and dedication have brought the wines to a high standard that you can taste from start to finish. For 3 decades now, Mr. Bucher has been running the winery and has fallen in love with the Italian flair. Last year, the winery was taken on by his son and continued in the family tradition, modernising everything and bringing it up to the latest state of the art. The love of wine continues in this generation and accompanies the Bucher family on path.
Volcanic Soil
The wine region around Villa Bucher has proven volcanic soil for a unique character in the wines. Volcanic soil is considered among some of the best for growing winegrapes. In general, volcanic soils encourage the development of desirable flavour and texture compounds in winegrapes; such soils are porous and provide good drainage, which causes grapevines to grow deep to seek nutrients. Soil absolutely affects a wine’s flavour, but it’s usually thought to do so indirectly. The way a soil retains water reflects or absorbs sunlight affects how vines develop and, therefore, the resulting wine’s flavour.
