Moments of pure passion
SALUS PER VINUM
Wine lifts the spirit and thoughts… and worries leave the heart.
Pindaro (518 a.C. circa – 438 a.C. circa)
The origins of wine are so old that they become legendary. One of the legends traces back to the beginning of life with Adam and Eve, stating that the forbidden fruit was actually succulent grapes and not the apple. Another one states that Noah, having invented wine, decided to save the vines from the flood by bringing them onto the Ark.
Moments of pure passion
HOSPITALITY AND RELAX
As a sculpture lifts and distracts his tired and concentrated eyes from work, and restores them, so every now and again we have to relax the spirit and replenish it with some pleasure.
Lucio Anneo Seneca
Knowing how to relax is essential to your health, well-being and in maintaining the joy of living. Come and spend a few days in the warm and relaxing atmosphere of these sunny hills, perhaps with a glass of good wine.
Here you can have a break from everyday life. Treat yourself, you deserve it…
Where passion becomes Wine
THE WINERY
Months of sacrifice and hard work end here where passion is transformed, refined and rested, becoming wine in all its forms, flavours and colours.
Costa Catterina winery, whose sole purpose is wine making, is spread over 15 hectares which are divided into various plots in Castagnito d’Alba and surrounding areas.
Costa Catterina is situated in the Roero territory of Piedmont. The ancient roots of the wine-making tradition lie in this hilly landscape where it has found its just and deserved identity through the triumph of the vineyards, whilst at the same time respecting other cultivations equally as important such as that of hazelnuts.
The best way to enjoy the Wine

There is an outside sitting area perfect for relaxing…
