About the Winery

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.

Fantastic experience
We arrive at Castello di Grillano at 6 PM, we are welcomed and seated in a very well-kept and intimate little room, that makes you take a beautiful leap into the past. The host is very kind, he prepares a truly special experience for us, explaining with passion and dedication not only the wines and the dishes that we are enjoying, but also the world of oenology. Highly recommended

Would have given more glasses if we could!
Excellent!!! Wonderful wine tasting with very knowledgeable hosts! Great variety in the tastes, and lovely cheese and sausage to go with it ☺️ we bought a couple of cases because we really enjoyed the wine! And the location was to die for - both the cellar tasting room, the view from the castle deck over the vines, and the tour of the cellars. You can stay there as well - wish we had! Also large quantities of wine - so was a bit sad that we had to drive from there
Only suggestion would be a pick up service of some sort, so no one has to drive after

So lovly winery tour experience!
We love to visit a wineries and compare them. Castello Di Grillano is our one of the favorite places where we been. The owner is at a respectable age, but he speaks very well english and we felt very welcome. In degustation we got 7 or more wines and table was full with local cheese and other snacks.
I was not ashamed to ask all my silly questions, which the owner kindly answered.
We loved the atmosphere and the wines so much that we even bought them as gifts to take home.
