What grows here
Lessona
16 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Lessona, a small municipality in the Biella province, owes its wine pedigree to the acidic, prehistoric marine sands of the Biellese hills. This unique terroir births the highly local Lessona DOC, an elegant red wine produced entirely within this single municipality's boundaries, alongside the broader Coste della Sesia DOC. The land's distinctive soil profile shapes the Nebbiolo grapes, yielding wines of exceptional acidity and minerality. Today, 7 verified producers sustain this viticultural legacy, with 1 winery opening its doors to travelers eager to taste how ocean-born sands translate into world-class Piedmontese glass.
