Castello di Perno dominates the village of the same name, an hamlet of Monforte d’Alba since 1932. The Castle was built in the Middle Ages by the Falletti family as a defensive castle.

At the end of 1970s, the Castle was bought by the most important Italian publisher Giulio Einaudi who made it its secondary headquarters, twin of that of Via Biancamano in Turin, and a working residence for its writers (among the most assiduous Primo Levi).

Since 2012, the Castle has been owned by Gregorio Gitti, lawyer and professor of civil law at the University of Milan. The project of the Gitti’s family from the beginning was double: to restore the Castle of Perno to its history, both to the most recent one driving it like a home for culture and to the oldest one of the cultivation and vinification of its own grapes.
