Welcome to Bugia Nen, the winery of Davide Fregonese, where tradition, passion, and quality come together to create exceptional wines. Leggi di più

My story, rooted in the determination of the Piedmont people, is inspired by the resolute spirit of the winemakers who have shaped my land. The name of my company, “Bugia Nen,” comes from an emblematic historical event during the Battle of Assietta in 1747, where the courage and tenacity of the Piedmontese triumphed against all odds.

Like Paolo Federico Novarina, who, with the phrase “Noiàutri i bogioma nen da sì” (We will not move from here), embodied strength and perseverance, I too face every challenge with dedication and resolve. My goal is clear: to bring Piedmont and Sicily to the forefront of the global winemaking scene through quality wines that tell the stories of unique territories and authentic viticulture.
