“Expertise and Deep Roots merge to give life to contemporary, straightforward, and essential wines.”
OUR ROOTS
The Ascent (ASCESA in Italian) in climbing is synonymous with challenge, sacrifice, and the desire to reach the summit. Not always, only when the mountain allows it. With this spirit, Fabrizio Testa, winemaker and guide of the Ascesa project since the first harvest in 2018, approaches every bunch that ripens on the terraces of Valtellina; mountain vines that know how to give endless nuances to our Nebbiolo delle Alpi.

Valtellina
Valtellina is a valley in the Lombardy region of northern Italy, bordering Switzerland.
The cultivation of vines in Valtellina has very ancient origins, which date back to the first inhabitants of the Valley in pre-Roman times, who already began to terrace the steep slopes of the Rhaetian Alps; the vineyards, facing south, are in an optimal area for the cultivation of the vine.
Valtellina is the largest terraced mountain area in Italy, Nebbiolo is grown from 350 to 800 m asl. and the soils are mainly sandy.
