    The castle represents a unique testimony to the history of Piedmontese viticulture.

    The castle of Grinzane Cavour represents one of the best examples of medieval architecture in the Langa.
    Its current appearance is the result of an accurate restoration work in 1961, which has brought the building, which has been subject to interventions not always correct over the centuries, to its original appearance.
    Positioned on soft hilly reliefs, with a more residential rather than highly strategic “castrum”, the territory of Grinzane Cavour must have already represented a pleasant environment in Roman times for wealthy landowners in the nearby city of Alba Pompeia.

    From the website castellogrinzane.com

    Built around the middle of the 11th century on top of a hill, the Castle of Grinzane Cavour dominates, with its beauty and unmistakable architecture, the stupendous panorama of the Langhe hills, today a UNESCO World Heritage Site with Vineyard landscapes of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato.

    Over the centuries, the Castle has belonged to various Piedmontese noble families, including the Counts Benso di Cavour, whose best known exponent was Camillo Benso, the famous hero of the Risorgimento, who stayed at the Castle and was mayor of the small village of Grinzane.
