Castle Grumello
Grumello Castle, ancient home of medieval origin, dominates the historic village of Monte in the Grumello Valcalepio, in the picturesque hills of Bergamo and Lake Iseo.
Born in 1200 as a medieval fortress, the Castle was the scene of fighting between the Guelphs and Ghibellines. He became, successively, the residence of commander Bartolomeo Colleoni during clashes between the Republic of Venice and the Duchy of Milan. In 1700 it was transformed into the home of noble families to the principles Gonzaga. Since 1953 the castle as the centerpiece of an old wine estate is owned by the family-Kettlitz Reschigna Milan.
The winery, one of the oldest in Italy, dates back to 1200 and has retained its original architecture for large vaults and stone walls. Here we design and develop the house wines, combining tradition with modern winemaking technology. In the picturesque medieval and eighteenth-century rooms of the castle held meetings, conferences and cultural events.
