Castello di Spessa
Castello di Spessa operates in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, the northeastern Italian region celebrated for its mineral-driven whites and elegant reds. The winery's portfolio centers on varieties that thrive in this terroir: Friulano, Pinot Gris, and Merlot. The Rassauer Friulano demonstrates the region's signature crisp acidity and stone-fruit character, while the Conte Spessa Pinot Gris captures the aromatic complexity Friuli is known for. The Rosaris Merlot Collio shows how the region's cooler climate shapes red wines toward structure and restraint rather than ripeness. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Wine Spectator have all assessed the winery's releases, reflecting its standing within serious wine criticism.
