Buccella
Napa Valley, California, United States
The essence of Buccella lies beyond the confines of business; it’s a love affair with winemaking rooted in the beauty of its origins. A shared fascination for wine became the pivotal point for Bill and Alicia, whose paths intertwined over a bottle of 1990 Gaja. This first date marked the inception of Buccella, a testament to their shared dreams and the power of passion. They still treasure the cork from that first bottle—a symbol of dreams realized.
Recognizing wine’s unique ability to bridge hearts and celebrate life’s milestones, Buccella crafts wines that not only make memories but enrich the very enjoyment of life. This ambition has propelled their ventures, steering them through hurdles and inspiring the Buccella team to diligently handcraft wines that mirror their shared commitment to making each celebration special.

Buccella takes pride in being a custodian of cherished memories, enhancing life’s narratives with each bottle. Located in Napa Valley, California, they meticulously oversee vineyards they source from, earning a reputation for their rich and intense Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Rhône varieties.
Their 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to this pursuit. Jeb Dunnuck’s review paints an alluring picture of this inky-hued wine, hinting at the luxury of delayed gratification if allowed to mature in the cellar.

“Buccella,” meaning “mouthful” in Latin, signifies the bold, concentrated layers that characterize their wines. The logo, a contemporary rendition of the traditional “tastevin,” represents Buccella’s commitment to harmonizing heritage and innovation.
