From this winery
  • Start up year: 1868
  • Oenologist: Donato Lanati, Achille Bergami
  • Bottles produced: 180.000
  • Hectares: 80
This year the Calvignano company presents some of its oenological jewels: two Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico, substantially different but joined by a logical thread that binds style and technical precision. They are the result of the best conditions: the vines enjoy a privileged exposure to the south and south-east, at an altitude between 250 and 300 meters above sea level, on a mainly brownish-calcareous and clayey soil, rich in marl and sandstones that give the grapes a unique aromatic heritage and a characteristic mineral verve.

Added to this is the fundamental contribution of the men who make up the team, a team of consolidated and first-rate managers and technicians, makers of a production that is permanently at the top of the name.
