Description

Atop a hill painted with vineyards, where time seems to have stood still, stands the prestigious historic estate from 1890: a place that enchants the eye and caresses the heart. Here, among the gentle curves of the hills of Costigliole d'Asti, a private world opens up, made of elegance, nature, and history, where silence reigns supreme and the sunset light dances on the rows. The property extends over about 1.4 hectares in a single body, a precious microcosm where 5,500 square meters of fine Barbera d'Asti vineyards are cultivated. From these vines comes an authentic wine, which tells its story every year in about 5,000 bottles with a private label, a full expression of Piedmontese craftsmanship. From the estate, the gaze is lost in a breathtaking 360-degree panorama: hills arranged like gardens, bell towers of ancient villages that dot the horizon, the groomed profile of the vineyards, and in the distance, the imposing skyline of the Alps. In front, in all its evocative beauty, the fascinating Castello della Marchesa di Castiglione, silently watches over the fairytale landscape. The estate consists of the manor house, guardian of historical elegance and charm of bygone times, flanked by two refined dependences, converted from the old barn, ideal for hosting guests or for living moments of total privacy. Skillfully renovated and restored in 2015, the property combines authentic features, such as the historic cellar, with all modern comforts and technology, offering sophisticated spaces ready to be lived in immediately. Each environment is designed to enhance natural light and offer enchanting views in every season. Two scenic pools, perfectly integrated into the landscape, provide moments of pure well-being, in total privacy. A corner of paradise where you can breathe beauty and live every day like an endless vacation. Currently, the property is managed as a luxury holiday home, aimed at a selected target, with excellent annual income; but it is also ideal as an exclusive private residence, charming boutique hotel, or event location. A dwelling for dreaming. An investment of eternal value, in one of the most prestigious and sought-after territories of Monferrato Unesco.

Location: Costigliole d'Asti, Piedmont

At the border between Langhe and Monferrato lies the town of Costigliole d’Asti, a municipality of about 6,000 inhabitants, rich in history and culture, where it is truly delightful to stop and enjoy the authentic flavors of our tradition and immerse oneself in truly breathtaking landscapes. This enchanting village is a perfect meeting point between the gentle hills of Monferrato, covered with precious vineyards, and the landscapes of Astesana, framed by the marvelous peaks of the Alps, and where hazelnut groves, vineyards, woods, gardens, fields, and many very charming small villages alternate. The Castle of Costigliole d’Asti is the most well-known and important monument of this area. It has been known since 1061 when it came under the control of Bonifacio del Vasto. Subsequently, it was at the center of many disputes between Guelphs and Ghibellines until it was occupied by the Asinari family, who made several modifications to the structures. Around the mid-19th century, it became the residence of Virginia Oldoini, known as the Countess of Castiglione and wife of Francesco Verasis, who is considered one of the first Italian secret agents. The countess was, in fact, a cousin of Camillo Benso Count of Cavour and played an important role during the Risorgimento and the international events of that era. But Costigliole is not only famous for its picturesque Castle. In addition to visiting its historical heritage and tasting its excellent wines, such as Barbera d’Asti, Moscato, and Grignolino, a walk through its historic center certainly offers unforgettable emotions with its historical buildings, ancient churches, and truly evocative squares. One can also participate in many important festivals and events, such as the Raviolo al Plin Festival in mid-August, the Festival of Astigiane Festivals in September, and the Palio dei Borghi, a traditional seven-a-side football tournament held in the summer. In the surroundings, there are numerous trails that wind through the vineyards to be explored on foot, by bicycle, or on horseback, leading to discover unique and breathtaking views. Finally, a visit cannot end without savoring the best of Piedmontese cuisine, namely tajarin with truffle, agnolotti del plin, braised beef in red wine, hazelnut cake, and bùnet, naturally accompanied by a good glass of local wine.
