Traditionfor the land since 1895
Every bottle, a history
Production practices and oenological techniques change; the winery’s equipment is increasingly modern and controlled to guarantee impeccable quality at every sip. The connection and respect for the land remains the same, which supports the wine production together with a proud nature, its wild plants and animals, which are beautiful to observe in the vineyards or on their margin during walks with customers or on working days in the rows. Everything contributes to the structure, the aromas and the taste of wines, along the optimal climatic conditions of the Oltrepò Pavese that, differentiated in the microclimate of each vineyard, produce an extraordinary variety of typical DOC and IGT wines as well as VSQ sparkling wines.
