CASTLE CASTELLENGO
It all begins with an idea.
Our trip was too short to really get to know the area but one thing you need to sample is the local wine. Castle Castellengo is located close to Biella and is home to the production of fine wines cultivated on ancient glacial slopes. Nebbiolo and Erbaluce are the predominant grape varieties and the castle does a wonderful guided tour, the highlight being an in-depth discussion and sampling of these exquisite wines.
Less than an hour from Milan and Turin , a few minutes from the Carisio exit on the A4 motorway , is Castellengo ( Castleng in Piedmontese ), an autonomous municipality up to a hundred years ago now a hamlet of Cossato at the gates of the Nature Reserve delle Baragge , with an ancient history and known as one of the most evocative and relaxing places in the hills below Monte Rosa .
In fact, this particular area of the Biellese coincides with that of the ancient fiefdom before the Bulgarians and from the 1600s of the Frichignono di Castellengo who acquired the imposing castle that stands, surrounded by greenery, on a small rock, transforming it from a fortress to a noble residence.
The Castle of Castellengo is undoubtedly the symbol of this territory and contains in its walls all the history and the roots of local traditions, which today are more than ever rediscovered and enhanced thanks to the recent renovation of the noble area and the cellars.
Today, in fact, Castellengo is a territory renowned for the production of Nebbiolo DOC Coste della Sesia wine , whose production was already rooted in the 1700s and which in recent years has been enhanced by various local producers, such as Centovigne and Cascina Preziosa.
In the lower part of the town there is the small parish church of Saints Peter and Paul which offers the visitor fifteenth-century frescoes from the school of De Bosis and the seat of the Ecomuseum of Cossatese and of the Baragge, which can be visited by appointment from June to October and which contains many treasures concerning the rural history of the place.
Scattered around the pristine countryside of the Baragge, but close to the historic village, there are other goodies for food and wine tourism such as Cascina Bruera which produces quality cured meats such as the traditional Biella Paletta and the Cascina Foresto farmhouse which in addition to offering hospitality in eight rooms prepares excellent dinners of Piedmontese cuisine , served under a wonderful porch, once the site of a majestic press used for pressing the pomace after the harvest .
Castellengo can be easily reached by car but can be discovered on foot or by bicycle: e-biking and trekking activities are also available thanks to the hiking guide Il Macchie who knows every corner of the surrounding Baragge Nature Reserve and accompanies the discovery of incredible landscape views. in the park that in the bed of the Cervo (stream) that flows under the Castle after having crossed the City of Biella and the wonderful valley above all to be visited away from city traffic.
The ancient rooms of the Castle of Castellengo, after the recent restorations, have finally returned to their former glory!
