Perched on a hill in the heart of the Langhe<\/strong><\/a> region, Castiglione Falletto is a small village with authentic charm, surrounded by neat rows of vines that produce one of the most famous wines in the world: Barolo. Its origins are ancient, perhaps even Roman, as suggested by the tombstone of a sutor (shoemaker) found in the castle walls, evidence of a distant past that has its roots in classical times.<\/p>\n In the Middle Ages, the village established itself as the 'Castrum et villa' of the Marquisate of Saluzzo, assuming a strategic role in the political dynamics of the territory. After the fall of the marquisate, Castiglione passed to the Dauphin\u00e9 and then to the Savoy with the Treaty of Lyon in 1601, entering permanently into the Savoy orbit. Over the centuries, it was a fiefdom of numerous noble families - including the Lomello and, above all, the Falletti families - who contributed to defining its historical and architectural identity.<\/p>\nThe Castle, symbol of the village<\/h4>\n
