Castle Estate

In the municipality of Montegiordano, in the province of Cosenza, the “Tenuta del Castello” agricultural company dominates a spectacular natural setting, between the blue of the Ionian Sea and the colors of the fertile hills covered with pine trees and Mediterranean scrub. In an area rich in ancient settlements, according to tradition also frequented by the philosopher Pythagoras in the Magna Graecia era, stands the castle of the Princes Pignone del Carretto, built in the 17th century on the ruins of the Monastery of Sant'Anania, which was destroyed by the Saracens around to 1150.

Inhabited until the end of the 40s, the castle for a long time represented the center of the agricultural activities of the district, hosting the farmers who went from the village to work the land together with their families, and still today it dominates the company and the entire surrounding countryside.

The care of the vineyards, covering 12 hectares, is the main activity of the "Tenuta del Castello", which develops around a large cellar, equipped with all the most modern equipment, while respecting a very ancient tradition.

The result is a selected, high quality wine, created with the collaboration of the oenologist Riccardo Cotarella, President of the Oenologists' Association.
