Portrait of Nicolò Miyakawa
i. Biography
Nicolò Miyakawa is the representative of Bulichella in Suvereto, the Tuscan-coast estate whose work centers on organic winemaking. The title carries the weight of family continuity: Bulichella was founded in 1983 by four families, and the Miyakawa family became owners in 1999.
The Honours
The clearest recognition attached to Miyakawa is his representative role at Bulichella, a house identified with organic winemaking in Suvereto. Its story joins a Tuscan place with a Japanese family presence, a combination he frames directly: "Our organic winemaking project comes to life: ambitious, sustainable, and deeply rooted in the land, with a distinctive touch inspired by our Japanese heritage." Family succession is part of the estate’s identity. In Miyakawa’s words, "Today, the third generation of Bulichella is involved." That generational note gives the work a specific shape: not a one-vintage statement, but an estate project carried through ownership, place, and named wines.
The Craft
Organic winemaking at Bulichella on the Tuscan coast is the craft note that defines the work. Suvereto is more than an address in that sentence; it is the source point for the wines and the name attached to the DOCG most closely linked with Miyakawa. Coldipietrerosse, the Suvereto DOCG that most represents Nicolò Miyakawa, is a Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2026, it stands as the signature bottle in the estate’s story around him: direct in grape, direct in appellation, and tied by name to the place he represents. Other labels add detail to the range. Hide, a 2023 Syrah varietal, features Hideyuki Miyakawa’s love of cars. Montecristo, also noted in 2023, is named for the small island visible from the estate. Rubino, seen in 2025 in label and tasting coverage, belongs among its red wines.
The Career
The career line is concentrated rather than scattered: Miyakawa’s named professional home is Bulichella in Suvereto. That focus is important because the facts of the estate itself are unusually personal, beginning with its 1983 founding by four families and moving to Miyakawa family ownership in 1999. From that base, his public role is representative. The work attached to him is not separated from the estate’s organic winemaking project, its Tuscan-coast setting, or the family’s Japanese heritage. The bottles give the biography its clearest physical form: Coldipietrerosse for Suvereto DOCG Cabernet Sauvignon, Hide for Syrah and Hideyuki Miyakawa’s car reference, Montecristo for the island in view, and Rubino as part of the red-wine line.
