Centovigne - Castello di Castellengo

About Winery and Wines

Castellengo Castle, located in the Biella pre-Alps below Monte Rosa, has for centuries been home to the production of fine wines that are born in the surrounding vineyards on ancient land of marine glacial origin, where Nebbiolo and Erbaluce have always been mainly cultivated.

Magda and Alessandro Ciccioni reinterpret this tradition on a daily basis through the almost archaeological recovery of the ancient vineyards, reconstituting the historic property today called Centovigne because it is made up of small vineyards distributed on the hills between Castellengo Castle and Mottalciata, in Alto Piemonte.

The eighteenth-century cellars enhance the use of concrete tanks and large oak barrels for the refinement of wines, combining new knowledge and tradition in a combination of technology and history.

Our roots go back to 1682, the year in which the document dates back to the list of how many presses, how many barrels and how many vats, were found inside the crote di Castellengo.

On 28 September 1748, the Cabreo was drawn up, a judicial report relating to the feudal assets of Castellengo, where  the extent of the vineyards  and the cultivation systems used were determined.

In 1888 the summary prospectus of the Sella company in Castellengo then appears with the income and expenses relating to the sale of Castellengo.

It is possible to visit the cellar and have a wine tasting, with advance booking.
