The Castello di Cigognola winery is located in the heart of the Oltrepò Pavese area, in the hills between Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna, south of the river Po, in what was once and until the Unification of Italy called 'Old Piedmont'. The winery was established thanks to the owner's intuition Gianmarco and Letizia Moratti who, together with oenologist Riccardo Cotarella and a team of experts, wanted to bet on a particularly favourable terroir. As a result, significant investments in the vineyard and cellar have transformed the ancient castle into a landmark of excellence. This is how, very soon, the top awards from Italy's most prestigious wine guides arrived.
