Cellar
pietrocassina.it/Lessona, ItalyPietro Cassina personally manages, with the help of his wife and children, a small winery of approximately 7 hectares in Lessona, in Alto Piemonte. The vineyards have been in his family for several generations.
Tradition, Passion, Ambition.
By maintaining our philosophy, we hope to continually improve quality, producing elegant wines suitable for both everyday consumption and special occasions. The winery is located in Lessona, in the province of Biella, a small village in northeastern Piedmont surrounded by hills and mountains, a short distance from Monte Rosa and Turin.
The property extends over approximately 7 hectares of vineyards, as well as several hectares of surrounding woodland, creating a unique microclimate for growing Nebbiolo. The Lessona area is one of the few areas in Italy and the world where this grape variety finds its ideal habitat. We are in the Super Volcano area, officially recognized by UNESCO, where the terroir is very unique, with a highly acidic pH (3.5-3.7). At the beginning of the 20th century, the growth of the textile sector in the Biella area and of industry in general, combined with repeated hailstorms and the arrival of phylloxera, led to the sudden abandonment of vineyards in Alto Piemonte.
The hectares of vineyards thus increased from approximately 40,000 to the current 1,300. A positive note is that today's vineyards are located in the best plots, surrounded by woods that create an ideal microclimate for growing the local native grape varieties (Nebbiolo, Vespolina, Croatina, Erbaluce, and Uva Rara). The Monte Rosa massif protects us from harsh winters and overly hot summers.
