Castello Luigi

Tessin, Switzerland

In 1988, Luigi Zanini acquired the property now known as Castello Luigi, located in the mountains of Mendrisio, south of Tessin, with a majestic view over Lake Lugano.

After obtaining the necessary permits, the old farmhouse was demolished on October 27, 1997. The new building emerged in its place, Castello Luigi, featuring an underground spiral cellar with a depth of 18.5 meters, ensuring that all winemaking processes could be gravity-driven, from grape pressing to decanting and bottling, without any mechanical intervention affecting the wine.
