Benny Bucci opened Benny Vino Urban Winery in July 2010 with a vision of creating an urban style winery in the heart of Perry Village. Trained at Missouri State University, Benny received his Enology certification in December 2011. Benny crafts his wines from fruit that is sourced in from Chile, California and also local grapes to create award winning wine due to his knowledge and passion for perfection. Benny started making wine as a hobby as a young boy with his father and uncles and then the passion was born. After visiting Napa Valley for several years and being able to visit the wineries in Tuscany, Italy he knew that he needed to be involved in his lifes calling, the wine business. Benny worked for Debonne Vineyard in the cellar as a “cellar rat” for a period of time learning from the ground up. After Debonne, he became the General Manager and Winemaker for Thorncreek Winery. Once word of the delicious wines that Benny crafts started to get out, the winery was awarded the Best Urban Winery in Cleveland by Cleveland Magazine.
Benny has never lost sight of his passion and that is to produce award winning wine in a small urban winery located in Perry, Ohio. Critics and patrons agree, Benny Vino Urban Winery is a find for all that come by. So please make us a stop the next time you are in the area.
