Just after Momeliano (going down you don't see the indications that are placed instead for those who go up, you find the Luretta cellar indication) . Below perhaps the best description of the history of the castle. Behind the castle is the Luretta winery.

Located under the town of Momeliano (not easy to identify, follow the first dirt road junction with the indications to the Luretta winery) is a beautiful castle whose existence is documented starting from 1368, although there are documents dating back to a first "version" to the 10th century, later destroyed by Guglielmo Landi in the early 1200s and rebuilt in the mid-1300s. Built in brick and stone, it has a U shape with four towers at the corners, three with a round base and one with a quadrangular base. The closed arched battlements are practicable with a narrow patrol path. Currently privately owned, it houses the cellars of the adjacent winery.

The mighty castle of Momeliano, made up of three rectangular bodies arranged on a U-shaped plan, is the result of two construction phases. The oldest nucleus dates back to the fourteenth century, the most recent one can be dated between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Over the centuries it underwent several changes of ownership, up to the Stevani family who, at the end of the nineteenth century, put much of the surrounding land under viticulture. The general state of conservation of the castle is good. Worth noting are: traces of the joints of the drawbridge in the building facing south-east; the battlements, now closed in an arch and accessible via a narrow corridor; the remains of the pointed arched windows walled up on the south-east front; the loggia towards the courtyard; two pairs of arches.
