Bisson is a family-run winery founded by Pierluigi Lugano in 1978 in Chiavari, Liguria, with ownership appearing to remain within the Lugano family. Its broad portfolio focuses on local grapes including Bianchetta Genovese, Vermentino, Cimixa, Pigato, Ciliegiolo, Granaccia and Sciacchetrà, spanning red, white, rosé, sparkling, fortified and dessert wines. The winery is particularly noted for its Méthode Champenoise project, ageing thousands of bottles in a metal cage at 60 metres depth. This combination of regional varieties and experimental sparkling production gives Bisson a distinctive Ligurian identity.
