Castello di Luzzano

Winery in Oltrepò Pavese, Food Valley, Hills of Piacenza, Val Tidone

About the Winery

Castello di Luzzano traces its origins back to Roman times, when these border hills between Oltrepò Pavese and the Piacenza countryside were already devoted to viticulture. Spanning 110 hectares, the estate unfolds across a natural frontier where two regions, two cultures, and two geological identities meet. This dual soul — Lombard and Emilian — lives on through its diverse soils and through its two estates, Luzzano and Romito, each expressing a distinct yet complementary character. Here, the concept of “border” is not a division, but a rare richness that gives depth, elegance, and unmistakable personality to every wine.

Today, under the passionate guidance of Giovannella Fugazza, this heritage is interpreted with sensitivity, research, and an uncompromising pursuit of authenticity and quality. In this breathtaking location, where the landscape stretches endlessly, and the air carries a truly special energy, refined and distinctive wines are born, sincere expressions of a land where history, identity, and vision come together in every glass.

About the Wines

Castello di Luzzano's wines are the result of complete dedication: we manage every step in-house, from vineyard to final label, with meticulous care and deep respect for each grape variety.

For over 50 years, we have been custodians of our Malvasia’s genetic heritage, crafting our own vine cuttings from selected pruning wood — a commitment that has earned international recognition and made our winery renowned worldwide. Our Pinot Noir, grown on the Pavia side, is produced with almost obsessive precision, while our red selections originate from Burgundy clones. Among our Gutturnio wines, Romeo stands out as a unique Riserva, and our Bonarda is crafted in Rovescala, one of the most highly acclaimed areas for this variety.

Alongside these, we cultivate Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, and, above all, Ortrugo — a small hidden gem of the Piacenza hills that we proudly champion. We are deeply committed to producing DOC wines that authentically express our territory, promoting its identity and native varietals with passion, craftsmanship, and a profound sense of responsibility toward the land.
