Better than any lengthy descriptions, the simple names of the grape varieties that distinguish the different Duchessa Lia wines signify the character of this region of Italy where the House of Duchessa Lia has its roots.

For those, like us, who love the corner of Piedmont in which we live, and where we have made wine for so many generations, this area where the Langhe’s vineyards meet those of the Asti area is truly a precious jewel, one of the world’s most renowned wine-growing areas, which UNESCO deservedly is soon to designate as a World Heritage site.

It is our firm belief that there are no words that can portray this land better than the images that you can enjoy on this site, enabling you to stroll through the vineyards that yield all of the Duchessa Lia wines, growing in the areas around Asti, and Alba, and in the Monferrato area… then to descend steeply almost to the border with Liguria, where the mountain air commingles with the breezes off the Mediterranean to present us with Gavi, one of our finest white wines.

Hills upon hills, some gentle, others precipitous, in the hundreds, the thousands. On each of these, our efforts, and that of so many others, have encouraged a terroir that will always yield fruit distinctive from that on the neighbouring hill. Such grapes and wines, then, are always distinctive, and our passionate love for these lands and our expertise in crafting wine marry together in every glass of Duchessa Lia in perfect harmony
