Full description
Have you ever toasted on top of a volcano? Or rather, a Supervolcano!
You can do so by visiting theAzienda Vitivinicola Pietro Cassina, located in the territory of the Valsesia Supervolcano, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the few areas in the world to favour the production of Lessona wine, representative of the winery and the province of Biella.
Anexperience of over one hour that will satisfy sight, smell and... taste!
What we will do
The appointment is 5 minutes before the selected time at theAzienda Vitivinicola Pietro Cassina in Lessona (BI). We will be welcomed by the guide who will accompany us on a discovery of this surprising Biellese reality!
The experience will begin outside with a panoramic view of the vineyard: in this setting, the guide will tell the story of the winery as well as the particular territory, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will then move inside for a visit to the cellar: we will walk among the steel tanks, delving into the winemaking process, and then reach the scenic barrel cellar where fermentation takes place. The exterior and interior visit will last approximately 45 minutes.
We will continue through a passage where a waterfall flows, an innovative idea of the owner-architect to preserve the humidity of the cellar. We will then enter the tasting room, nicknamed the'starry room': the ceiling is in fact illuminated by a series of lights reminiscent of the most poetic stars, under which we will toast in company! The guide will serve and describe 4 glasses, including a glass of Lessona, which is the most representative wine of the winery and the territory; everything will be accompanied by a mixed platter of typical products, such as the "paletta biellese" and other delicacies.
The experience will last about one and a half hours in total.
