The winery was founded by Luigi Dezzani, and over the decades, it has grown into a significant producer of fine wines, combining traditional methods with modern techniques.
Dezzani achieved massive success 1970s and 80s when Luigi handed the company over to his son Romulo. Romulo developed the wine into a brand that was well-known throughout Italy. The third generation is represented by winemaker Luigi Jr. Today the company is owned by the Rocca family who, themselves have been in the wine world for five generations, and the Villa Rivalta co-operative, comprising hundreds of families from Monferrato and Langhe united in cooperative form, with about 1,000 hectares of vineyards.
The winery is located at 491 metres above sea level and is surrounded by plantings of traditional grapes varieties such as Nebbiolo, Barbera and Albarossa as well as Cabernet and Syrah. The company produces and bottles over 40 different labels, including DOC and DOCG wines, all sourced from some of the most prestigious vineyards in the Piedmont wine-growing region. Wines include Barbaresco, Barbera d’Asti, Barolo et al.
The grapes for the Dezzani Nebbiolo Langhe DOC come from the prestigious hills of Langhe. After a manual harvesting of the Nebbiolo grapes, vinification takes place at controlled temperatures with about 15 days maceration on skins and subsequent malolactic fermentation. The wine is then matured in traditional fifty hectolitre oak casks, for 18-24 months before bottling and release.
