La Dogana Castello di Luzzano Restaurant, Rovescala (Oltrepò)

Castello di Luzzano is a winery on the boundary between two of Italy’s primary wine-producing regions: Oltrepà Pavese and the Colli Piacentini. We produce prestigious Oltrepò DOC wines – Bonarda, Barbera, Pinot nero – and Colli Piacentini DOC wines – Gutturnio, Malvasia, Chardonnay, Ortrugo –, only using the vineyards on our own property.
The company is a small hamlet awash in time’s stream, with a history, including wine-making, more than two-thousand years long. It is the most unexpected, tucked-away place, at the heart of a hill 270 metres above sea-level, outlined by the rows of vines that surround it. Here, on more than seventy hectares of vineyards, Castello di Luzzano wines are produced.
Giovanella Fugazza is an attentive and passionate owner. She wanted her winery to be authentic, slow to adopt innovations, never overwhelming, but always with full respect and love for the place and for nature. This magical estate opens its doors to wine lovers. The colours and creative atmosphere of the winery represent the spirit of its wine: giving joy and imagination.

Here, lovers of nature and good wine can book overnight stays in apartments and rooms, once the homes of peasants, savouring the nectar we produce in the ancient cellar, testimony to the history of the estate.
In the old 18^th-century Customs House, at the entrance to the estate, a small inn has been created, with four exquisite rooms and a small restaurant, open from March to November, by booking only. It is here that we match our local specialties only and exclusively with wines produced on our estate.
Tourists are welcome for visits to the estate, wine tasting, luches, dinners, and to celebrate special occasions.
We speak Italian, English and French.
