Vercesi del Castellazzo

The Azienda Agricola Vercesi del Castellazzo is located on the slopes of the "Oltrepò Pavese" hills, in the municipality of Montù Beccaria. The winery occupies the manor house, a charming historic building erected on the very spot where, before the 12th century, there was a castle owned by the Beccaria family, a noble family from Pavia.
Despite its imposing appearance the castle, which dominates the small village of Montù, features no towers, battlements, arcade porches, corbels, or open galleries with gothic-style four-light windows. However, the ancient medieval building, which has undergone major transformations over the centuries and lies on a natural terraced property surrounded by gentle hillsides entirely covered with vineyards, bears testimony to a long-standing wine-growing tradition.
