We make wine in a small but historic cellar in the beating heart of the new ‘Alto Piedmonte’ Renaissance located in Lessona. We use old concrete tanks for young wines and Slavonian oak barrels for aging wines made only from our vineyards. As far as Sizzano is concerned, it was our great statesman Camillo Benso Conte di Cavour, who in addition to being one of the greatest strategists of the (Italian unification) Risorgimento was also owner of vast land estates, farms, businessman as well as Minister of Agriculture and Prime Minister in the mid-nineteenth century, who wrote the famous letter in which he said: "I naively confess that your excellent Sizzano wine has almost convinced me of the possibility of making luxury wines in Piedmont. This wine possesses in a high degree, what the quality of the wines of France and the bouquet is generally lacking in our own. The bouquet of Sizzano does not resemble that of Bordeaux, but rather the bouquet of Burgundy, which for certain delicious qualities such as Clos-Vougeot and Romanet, enjoys the first fruits on all the wines of France, so it is now proven that the Novarese hills can compete with the Burgundy hills, and that to win the fight you only need owners who he diligent the manufacture of wine and rich and elegant gluttons who establish their reputation ". In 1870, after the capture of Rome, it was with a Lessona that he toasted the Unification of Italy celebrating the glories of Nebbiolo over other Piedmontese and northern Italian grape varieties.
