The winery
DonnaLia is rooted in a historic estate known locally as “Ca’ Bianca,” once owned by the Avogadro di Casanova family. Located in the heart of the Canavese DOC area in northern Piedmont, the winery stands on the southeastern slopes of the Serra Morenica d’Ivrea, a unique glacial amphitheater shaped during the Quaternary period. Protected by hills and influenced by nearby rivers and lakes, this territory offers an ideal microclimate for viticulture.
