Castello di Uviglie

The Uviglie Castle rises on a charming hill to the east of Rosignano, about 8 km. from Casale Monferrato; it is encompassed by 150 ha. of ground of which 18 are vineyards.

The maturing of the grapes is constantly monitored and then they are taken to the cellar and pressed in stainless steel presses which also separate the stalks. The juice is then put in vats for fermentation and the transformation into wine.

The fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 18° C to conserve the aromas and perfumes.

The wine is transferred into other vats at the end of the fermentation period and is left to decanter for several months.

According to the market demand part of the wine is clarified and stabilized by low temperatures; the rest, specially the Barbera, is matured in oak casks and put into small barriques for ageing.

The cellar which has a modern bottling plant is divided into two areas:

- Storage area, with a capacity of 3,464 ha. in stainless steel insulated vats.

- Ageing area, with a capacity of 818,5 ha. in oak casks.
