Year erected:13th century
What is the history of the property?The origins of the castle date back to the Middle Ages.
Built on the remains of ancient Roman settlements, for centuries the castle was the home of the lords of the Friulian nobility.
From the 16th century, illustrious families took turns in his property: first the Dorimbergo, then the Rassauer and then, for more than 300 years, the powerful Della Torre Valsassina family, descendants of Charlemagne.
Count Luigi Torriani hosted Giacomo Casanova in 1773, who -fleeing from Venice to avoid a prison sentence- found refuge and tranquility to write and appreciate the wines, which he defined excellent in his Memoirs. The romantic literary walk with signs where you can read his phrases about love, women, friendship and life, is at your disposal in the historic park. In addition to Casanova, many other illustrious personalities, rulers and generals, poets and musicians have stayed in Spessa, such as Lorenzo Da Ponte, the famous librettist of Mozart, and Emanuele Filiberto D'Aosta. The atmosphere that still surrounds the manor today recalls those times: the arts, prestige, the sweet idleness of life in the countryside.
Today, Castello di Spessa, towering among the gentle hills of Collio, is the heart of an elegant Golf Wine Resort and SPA, owned by the Pali family.
