Castello di Verduno is located in the heart of the Piedmontese Langa. A historic winery, its roots date back to the 16th century, when the Cerrato family began construction of the castle. Over the centuries, it became a symbol of viticulture in the region, passing under the control of the Savoy family and then King Carlo Alberto, who, in 1838, entrusted its management to Carlo Staglieno, a pioneer of oenology. Today, the estate is managed by the Bianco family, who, with their long tradition of winemaking in Barbaresco, have contributed to promoting the prized Nebbiolo and Pelaverga grape varieties. The latter, in particular, is a rare, indigenous grape variety that grows exclusively in Verduno. And it was at Castello di Verduno that they were the first to courageously devote themselves to the cultivation of this grape variety as early as 1972. Even today, the company's philosophy is based on tradition, with vinification that respects historical methods, such as fermentation in open vats and ageing in large oak barrels.
