Tenuta Castello Di Razzano

La Tenuta del Castello nasce come fortezza medievale della famiglia Natta, da cui prende il nome il borgo di Alfiano Natta. Nel 1697 la famiglia Caligaris costruì il nuovo Castello sulle originarie fondamenta medievali, e conservò le terre fino al 1968, quando gli attuali proprietari, la famiglia Olearo, ne acquisirono la proprietà. Inizialmente venivano utilizzati solo i vigneti ma alla fine, dopo una lunga e attenta ristrutturazione nel 2006, il Castello stesso è stato ristrutturato come Relais di Charme. Sono state mantenute le antiche cantine di invecchiamento del Castello per l'affinamento dei vini rossi in botti e barrique. Il Castello di Razzano è circondato da un'azienda agricola, di circa 20 ettari di vigneto, che produce Barbera, Pinot Nero, Nebbiolo, Croatina, Merlot e Chardonnay.

I vigneti della tenuta

I vigneti coltivati dell'Azienda si estendono per oltre 30 ettari. I vigneti evitano l'uso di pesticidi, erbicidi e fertilizzanti chimici a favore di nutrienti organici e diserbo meccanico. Le piante non sono forzate, nel pieno rispetto dei ritmi naturali. La produzione viene seguita attentamente, passo dopo passo, verso una vendemmia manuale, ottimizzando la maturazione, solitamente tardiva, dell'uva da vino rosso. L'Azienda Vitivinicola è suddivisa in tre poderi per un totale di 100 ettari, di cui 30 ettari coltivati a vite e 5 ad oliveto. La produzione di vino supera le 150.000 bottiglie all'anno.

L'Olio e l'Aceto al Castello

La coltivazione degli uliveti e la produzione dell'olio nasce da una passione speciale della famiglia Olearo. Agli inizi degli anni '90 è stato piantato il primo oliveto, un appezzamento di 5 ettari che gode di un'esposizione solare e di protezione dal vento particolarmente favorevole. La produzione di petrolio è iniziata nel 2008.
Le olive vengono raccolte a mano, mentre la spremitura a freddo viene effettuata da un frantoio in Liguria
L'olio ottenuto è grezzo, non filtrato, con bassissimo contenuto di acidità e di perossidi, e può essere degustato presso l'Enoteca. L'acetaia inizia con la produzione dell'ottimo vino, la Barbera d'asti. La lavorazione avviene in un piccolo acetaio, presso l'Azienda Agricola e l'aceto viene poi invecchiato in barrique di rovere francese.

It was such a pleasure to stay here. The host family is icredibly nice, friendly and warm. The breakfast is really good and the rooms are amazing. Like in an old castle. The wine cellar is one of a kind and the wines are amazing. I liked most the spumante ones :) The restaurant is also really good and the food was superb. We’ll come back again

This is such a beautiful place! The service is great and the room we stayed in (junior suite) was spacious and just as beautiful and breathtaking as the rest of the castle. The kids cried bitter tears when we left and insisted we come back asap! Mille grazie per tutto e sperò che ci vediamo l'anno dopo!

I don't know what's better. The castle that houses the restaurant has been restored down to the last detail. It consists of several very cosy rooms. It seems like you've stepped into a fairy tale with the crystal chandeliers and the interior garden with the fountain. The kindness and attention of the dining room staff is truly unique. Truly incomparable kindness and professionalism. They remembered us with a very kind gesture, even though it was only the second time we had eaten there. Eating... well, eating is a unique experience! Piedmontese tradition is masterfully revisited by a truly good chef. Each dish becomes a wonderful experience. The difference is made by the top quality products.

It is literally paradise on earth. We had an amazing wine testing experience with great food. The staff is so friendly and the location is perfect for a total relax. Take a book with you and seat in front of their amazing panoramic view. You will forget the world!

Very nice place, well maintained and cared for, friendly service, spacious and clean room. Good wine, not exceptional. Restaurant with dishes that take up the Piedmontese tradition, some not up to the price. I would definitely go back, maybe not to the restaurant.

It is a magical and beautiful place with a view of the natural balcony of the Monferrato hills. Inside there is also the Museum of Art and Wine and an internal shop selling typical local products. I did not stay but I had a magical evening with very high quality food and wine with the dishes of chef Emanuele Monzeglio (extraordinary I would say) and the house wines. A memorable evening during a press tour in Monferrato. Congratulations!

I confirm that this is not my first visit to this ancient village of Monferrato, if you want to spend an evening dedicated to the outdoors and excellent food, this is a refuge from the heat of this torrid summer. The chef expresses himself in the best way both with creative dishes and with reworked reinterpretations to improve the typical cuisine of Monferrato‼️ The truly privileged location 🔝 wines worthy of the location‼️
