Wine is a family passion with ancient roots going back to the distant 1800s among the cultural salons of upper middle class society, where Duke Carlo Bussola, Filippo's great-great-grandfather, loved to entertain himself talking about literature, art and culture while enjoying excellent wine.

The wine, that soon became a passion made of research and work, took the form of a small but highly sought-after personal production. The distinguished Prosecutor of the Kingdom and Attorney General of the Court of Cassation in Palermo, Duke Carlo Bussola, had finally planted his first vineyard and finished the first harvest becoming able to crown his dream by producing his first wines.

In the early 1900s, the first sales began in the neighboring areas. In the following years the facility expanded and the sales increased, but mainly locally. Negli anni successivi la struttura si è allargata, le vendite sono aumentate, ma sempre concentrate in ambito locale.
