GEOGRAPHY
The Oltrepo Pavese is the only part of Lombardy south of
the river Po and is crossed by the 45th parallel
(half way between the north pole and equator). This is believed to
grant an excellent climate for wine production, though many other
things are necessary to achieve the goal.
Casteggio
is in the central part of the district at the foot of the hills
and has its own exit on the Turin – Bologna highway.
My
Estate is located on the sloping hill of Casteggio in the
hamlet of Mairano, but the vineyards (vigne) are also
scattered among nearby towns, as follows:
Casteggio
Vigna Brumano - Pinot noir for red wine
Vigna Miraggi - Pinot noir for red wine (winery
location)
Torricella Verzate
Vigna Galanta - Chardonnay and pinot noir for
Spumante Classico sparkling wine
Oliva Gessi
Vigna Le Moìne - Pinot noir for red wine
