Imposing and fascinating Villa located on the hills of Biella’s pre-Alps, built towards the end of the 19th century close to a typical Piedmontese farmhouse called ”dell’era”. Right inside this late 18th century structure are located the wonderful winemaking cellars.
Visiting Villa Era means immersing yourself into the wine-growing history of these areas, renowned for the Nebbiolo also known as Spanna di Vigliano. Nebbiolo which is still grown today in the ancient amphitheatre vineyard that magically blends with the Villa’s park.
The cultivation methods are strictly certified organic to continue the history of this place home in the last century to a world-class study center on research about personal well-being linked to nutrition, physical activity and meditation.

Paradise an hour outside of Milan, in the historic Piedmont region.
Go for the serene gardens, captivating architecture, and heavenly wine. Go back again (and again…) for the exceptional people who bring it all to life.

Villa Era grazie alla storia di due figure che l’hanno animata, ovvero Ledanna Duranti Danieli e il nipote Franz Rivetti, è stata pioniera nella diffusione in Italia dell’agricoltura e dell’alimentazione biologica. La nobildonna iniziò ad occuparsi di queste tematiche già dal dopoguerra, dando poi vita alla rivista Eubiotica che diresse fino alla sua morte, avvenuta nel 1977. Franz Rivetti portò avanti la pubblicazione e questo progetto visionario, creando con Giorgio Barabino il Centro ICARE (International Centre for Advancement in Research and Education), che si occupava di agricoltura biologica, alimentazione, fitoterapia, erboristeria, botanica, medicine naturali e nella pratica dello yoga e della medicina ayurvedica tenendo conferenze, seminari e corsi con esperti di fama internazionale, professori e insegnanti specializzati nelle varie discipline.
La biblioteca della dimora testimonia questa storia quasi secolare con i suoi 3.000 volumi.
Il biologico continua ancora oggi grazie alla produzione di vino nell’antica vigna e grazie al progetto della Cascina il Chioso di Federico Chierico. Ogni sabato mattina c’è un mercatino dei prodotti agricoli.
