About Ascesa
Producer Story
Founded in 2018, Ascesa is the vision of four friends dedicated to crafting Nebbiolo from the dramatic terraces of Valtellina. The name means “ascent,” reflecting both the rugged alpine landscape and the ambition behind these wines. In this remote valley between Lake Como and the Swiss border, vines cling to steep, sandy slopes in one of Italy’s most extensive terraced vineyard regions, with a history dating back to pre-Roman times. Grapes grown across varying altitudes and exposures create a vibrant, everyday expression of Nebbiolo. Winemaker Fabrizio Testa, one of the founders, guides the wines with spontaneous stainless-steel fermentation, preserving the purity of the fruit and the character of each vineyard shaped by altitude, rocky soils, and dramatic mountain temperature shifts.
