Winery Description:

Discover the Hidden Gem of Lessona: Pietro Cassina's Family Legacy! In the picturesque town of Lessona, nestled in the heart of Upper Piedmont, Pietro Cassina leads a family-run winery that spans generations. Alongside his wife and children, Pietro oversees a charming estate of approximately 7 hectares, where the vineyards have been a family treasure for centuries. Located in the province of Biella, this enchanting region is surrounded by rolling hills and majestic mountains, with the breathtaking Monte Rosa and vibrant Turin just a stone's throw away. Historically, the abandonment of vineyards in Upper Piedmont led to a selective concentration of vines in the most favorable plots, now totaling about 1300 hectares. These plots are nestled among woods, creating an idyllic microclimate for native varieties like Nebbiolo, Vespolina, Croatina, Erbaluce, and Uva Rara.
