History

Le Fracce was founded in 1905 at Mairano di Casteggio by Giulio Bussolera on the Cirga hill.

In the mid 1950s his son Fernando Bussolera made the 17th-century convent his home and expanded the vineyards; the first Le Fracce labels appeared in the early 1960s.

Fernando left the whole estate to the Bussolera-Branca Foundation, which runs Tenuta Le Fracce today.
