Pietro Cassina
PIEMONTE
Embracing Nature's Balance
In the heart of Alto Piemonte, the Pietro Cassina winery thrives amidst a landscape sculpted by ancient volcanic activity. Situated near Lessona and Biella, the vineyards benefit from a distinctive microclimate influenced by their elevation and proximity to Monte Rosa. The soils, a rich mix of calcareous and tuff, impart intense flavours to Nebbiolo and other local varieties. This unique terroir, located in the UNESCO-recognized Supervolcano area, provides the perfect conditions for crafting elegant, complex wines.
Pietro Cassina’s commitment to sustainability is evident throughout the estate. A natural oasis around the winery fosters biodiversity, an aromatic garden that is meticulously cared for by 90-year-old Nonna Severina. Additionally, they've installed solar panels on their cellar roof to aid in generating sufficient energy for the winery. With all these detailed components, their commitment stands out as a model of eco-friendly practices and exceptional wines.
