About Winery and Wines

Castello di Grillano is a historic winery and guest-house situated in the picturesque hills of Ovada, Piedmont. Owned and operated by the Torello Rovereto family since 1935, our estate is dedicated to organic wine production, a tradition that has been passed down through generations. The winery's origins trace back to the 1930s when Giovanni Torello acquired the castle, its surrounding vineyards, historic cellars, farmhouses, and parkland. Today, Castello di Grillano is not only a place where exceptional wines are crafted but also a serene destination for visitors seeking to experience the beauty and heritage of the region.

Located just a short drive from the Ligurian Sea, Milan, and the Serravalle Outlet, our winery offers a perfect blend of historical charm and modern amenities, including a pool and guest-house. Since 2012, our wines have been certified organic by ICEA, adhering to the strict standards of European Regulation 203/2012. Our commitment to organic farming means we exclude the use of pesticides, synthetic products, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers. We also take pride in producing a line of wines with no added sulfites, developed through innovative winemaking protocols by Francesco Torello. These naturally crafted wines preserve authentic aromas and offer a smooth, pleasant taste, embodying the purity and tradition of our land.
