The Ca' dell'Orsa farm is located in Viggiù, a small village on the border with Switzerland, in the northern belt of the Varese Pre-Alps, in the Valle della Bevera nature park. Behind our vineyards watches over Monte Orsa, which, together with Monte San Giorgio, is a Unesco heritage site of great naturalistic value.

In this area, traces of viticulture were already present in the 18th century, unfortunately abandoned over the centuries.

Our project to recover viticulture in Varese began in 2011 with the precise aim of enhancing and protecting the territory, a heritage to be preserved for future generations, through the cultivation of wine grapes using organic methods and biodynamic practices.

In Varese, the city of lakes, historical vines such as Nebbiolo and Merlot and innovative vines such as Bronner and Solaris (PIWI vines) are cultivated in their vineyards and cellars: the latter have the characteristic of naturally resisting fungal diseases.

The "Vini Varesini" Vi.Va. Association was founded in the autumn of 2008 with the desire to safeguard the territory and agricultural production in the Varese area.

Small and medium-sized local wineries have joined together, animated by the desire to create wines of excellence with 'ancient' and 'natural' flavours, which reflect in their organoleptic characteristics the peculiarities of the territory. To do this, they have for some years now resumed wine production from Merlot, Nebbiolo, Barbera, Shiraz, Traminer and Chardonnay grapes.
