For Sale: Historic Palace with 400 sqm of Historic Wine Cellars
This unique property, built around an elegant private inner courtyard with easy access, dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was originally constructed to complement the impressive wine cellars created in the second half of the 1800s beneath the adjacent hillside, commissioned by a prominent family of pioneers in the global production and sale of sparkling wine.
The spectacular cellars, carved directly into the rock and spanning over 400 sqm plus additional service rooms, are perfectly preserved and fully usable. Known as the "Cathedrals of Canelli," they are located in the UNESCO World Heritage of Canelli.
The residential portion, facing the main street of the historic center, is spread over three floors and includes a ground floor unit with distinctive architecture and versatile potential, as well as two spacious and elegant apartments on the upper levels.
Two wings of the building, which overlook the courtyard, feature striking spaces with glass-fronted halls and loggias, characterized by large arches, exposed brick and Langa stone façades, and original attic dormers on the top floors, where additional living space could be created.
The uniqueness of this magnificent property—an emblem of Canelli's rich history where art, culture, and wine tradition meet—combined with the variety of its spaces, make it the ideal setting for an exclusive project dedicated to tourism, winemaking, or simply the enhancement of a truly one-of-a-kind architectural heritage.
