For centuries the Castello di Castellengo has been home to the production of fine wines that are born in the surrounding vineyards on ancient soils of marine glacial origin, where Nebbiolo and Erbaluce have always been mainly cultivated. The owners Magda and Alessandro Ciccioni reinterpret this tradition every day through the almost archaeological recovery of the ancient vineyards, reconstituting the historic property called today Centovigne, because it is made up of small vineyards distributed on the hills between the Castle of Castellengo and Mottalciata. 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.
