About Winery and Wines
One family, its wine and the enthusiasm to produce it. The story of the Bric Castelvej winery is a family story, a simple story made up of values and people who believe in what they do, people who put their soul and passion into every bottle of wine they make. It all started long ago in 1956 when Domenico Gallino, the ingenious and visionary founder, began to vinify and produce superior quality wines. This commitment and passion has been passed down through the generations and still lives on today, finding continuity in son Mario, who together with his son Cristiano, a brilliant winemaker, takes scrupulous, experienced care of every process in the winery, from the meticulous work in the vineyards to the harvest and winemaking, all the way to sales in Italy and Europe. A family who today as in the past, with great satisfaction and pride, considers their work a life philosophy, facing each new challenge and new objective with commitment and rationality; a winery ready to write new pages in its history, in keeping with the tradition of this family from the Roero. ll through the year, the winery workers care for the land and its vineyards with professional skill and attention. This is a job that requires great respect for the seasons’ natural rhythms and the ancient traditions of Piedmontese wine making.The winery has been completely modernised and possesses the latest in vinification equipment technology. This ensures that the wine is allowed to express all that the producer desires, while maintaining the flavours typical of this extraordinary land.
