Cascina Preziosa, which translates as Precious Farmhouse, is a historic estate that traces its roots to the Napoleonic era. In line with Gattinara, Bramaterra, and Lessona, Castellengo was once one of the most important wine-producing villages of Alto Piemonte. Centuries-old documents demonstrate Cascina Preziosa’s position as a founding winery in Castellengo. In fact, one of the winery’s great treasures is a map from 1806 attesting to the estate’s existence. At that time, the wines of Alto Piemonte were considered to be the most prestigious in all of Piedmont by the House of Savoy and in Parisian salons. As a tribute to the area’s illustrious past, Owner Gianni Selva Bonino and Consultant Cristiano Garella have meticulously restored the vineyards of the estate to their former glory. Gianni treats his vineyards as gardens, observing organic practices across all three hectares and managing his picturesque holdings of Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Vespolina with the utmost attention to detail.
