On the hills of Travedona Monate, overlooking Lake Varese, in the same rows where Pinot Blanc has been cultivated since 1870, Cascina Filip now grows Sauvignon Blanc and Traminer grapes for a small production of 'Filìp', a fruity and aromatic white wine of excellent quality.

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.
