The wines of Contignaco can be enjoyed either in the castle’s spacious indoor halls, surrounded by the charm of its ancient stone walls, or on the panoramic terrace, overlooking the sunset and the first slopes of the Parma Apennines.
Guests will be able to taste a wide selection of wines produced by the Contignaco cellars: Bianco Ignatius, Bianco Contignaci Turris, Bianco Zelinda, Rosso del Sasso, Rosso del Rio dei Predoni and Rosso Rubeum Durantis.
All the castle’s wines—made through long maceration of the skins in the must and left unfiltered—are produced using traditional winemaking methods that highlight the flavours of the local heritage.
Since June 2021, the wines of the Castello di Contignaco have also been part of FIVI, a network of winemakers committed to promoting the quality and authenticity of Italian wines.
Lunches and Dinners
It will also be possible to have lunch or dinner at the castle, pairing the tastings with selections of local cured meats and Parmigiano Reggiano produced by the Contignaco farm. The cheese is made using milk from Bruna Alpina cows, known for its high protein content and superior quality compared to the more common Holstein milk. Vegetarian options will also be available.
