Castello di Stefanago, Medieval castle in Borgo Priolo, Italy
The castle features a distinctive L-shaped layout with a stone tower rising above the surrounding Schizzola and Coppa valleys in northern Italy.
Emperor Frederick II granted the castle to the Municipality of Pavia in 1219, marking a significant shift in territorial control from Piacenza.
The castle maintains an organic winery producing fifty thousand bottles annually from vineyards situated between 300 and 470 meters above sea level.
Visitors need advance reservations to tour the castle grounds and participate in wine tastings of varieties including Croatina, Barbera, and Pinot Noir.
Local folklore tells that supernatural forces constructed the entire castle in just three nights, with echoes of ancient battles heard in the valleys.
