Conti di Buscareto
Marche, Italy
Conti di Buscareto is the brainchild of Claudio Gabellini and Enrico Giacomelli, two entrepreneurs with a vision for natural winemaking. In 2002, they acquired an old local wine cellar and 70 hectares of vineyards, split between Verdichhio dei Castelli di Jesi, Contrada Sant'Amico of Morro d'Alba, and Rosso Picena—three of Marche’s best-known appellations, each with its own personality and terroir.
To help develop their vineyards, winery, and winemaking philosophy, they enlisted wine expert Vito Camussi and esteemed consulting enologist Giancarlo Soverchia. Over the next 13 years, they worked tirelessly. Each of Conti di Buscareto’s vineyards specializes in different regional varieties, and the estate produces a range of single-site wines. They farm Verdicchio in Castelli di Jesi, draw Montepulciano and Sangiovese in Camerata Picena, and harness the Contrada Sant'Amico of Morro d'Alba region for Lacrima, a native variety they’ve helped resurrect from near extinction.
Above all, Conti di Buscareto values integrity in farming and purity in winemaking, a commitment expressed by their organic certification from Rina Agroqualita and a SQNPI chemical-free certification in sustainability. They seek to evoke the classic character of the Marche’s old vines through meticulous farming, selectivity in the vineyards, and modern winemaking techniques.
