In 1992 the Estate of the Castle was purchased by Simone Lupano, who re–launched vine cultivation – began as well as five centuries before, in 1491, by the Pico–Gonzaga feudatories – in this area highly suited for the production of excellent grapes, without undermining these historical roots and in the maximum respect of the terroir.
In honor of this ancient vocation, two wines of excellece have been produced: &lduqo;1491” and “Pico–Gonzaga”. The choice of the wines produced, as well as the one of vine grapes, are not made in an offhand way, they have in common the characteristic of the prestigious DOC wines of the area: Barbera del Monferrato, Barbera del Monferrato Superiore, Grignolino del Monferrato Casalese, Monferrato Freisa and Piemonte Chardonnay.
“Castello di Uviglie” rises on a beautiful hill east of Rossignano, 8km from Casale Monferrato, surrounded by more or less 150 hectares of land, of which 25 cultivated with vineyards. The winery has a collection capacity of 3,500 hl and is equipped with modern technologies, even using traditional methods of vinification.
