Spessa Castle, located in the heart of the Gorizia Collio, is surrounded by the greenery of its centuries-old park and golf course. Its origins date back to the 13th century, with traces of Roman settlements. For centuries, it was home to noble families from Friuli, including the Dorimbergo, Rassauer and Della Torre Valsassina families, who owned it for more than 300 years.

In 1773, Giacomo Casanova visited the castle, praising the local wines in his Memoirs. Today, in the medieval cellars beneath the castle, red wines are aged in barriques and are connected to a World War II military bunker. Nineteenth-century renovations, designed by architect Ruggero Berlam, gave the structure a neo-Gothic feel.
