🏡 Tastings & visitsGattinara DOCGGhemme DOCG

Clerico Massimo operates from Lessona, a hilltop village in Piedmont's Biella province where vines have thrived for generations. This family estate, documented as winemakers since 1700, vinifies exclusively its own grapes—a commitment that anchors every bottle's quality. The winery transforms fruit from vocally suited vineyard parcels into two DOCG wines: Gattinara and Ghemme. In a restored historic cellar, owner Massimo marries ancestral techniques with modern enology, crafting Nebbiolo-based reds that demand extended aging: 35 months for Gattinara, 34 for Ghemme. Visitors welcome.
