THE ROOTS OF CENTOVIGNE DATE BACK TO 1682, WHEN THE FIRST VATS OF WINE WERE PRODUCED AT THE CASTLE OF CASTELLEGNO. THE CASTLE WALLS CONTINUE TO WELCOME NEW GENERATIONS OF VINTNERS AS A GUARANTEE OF THE CONTINUITY OF QUALITY NEBBIOLO IN THE NORTH OF PIEDMONT. THE OLD VINES OF THE AREA GROW AMONG ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES AND ARTIFACTS, BURIED IN THE MARINE SANDS, FULL WITH GRAVEL AND SANDY CLAY SOILS. THE CELLARS OF THE CASTLE, LIKE MANY OTHERS IN THE AREA, HAVE HOUSED WINE CELLARS FOR CENTURIES.
