The roots of Cantina PrimaVena are in Oltrepò Pavese, because in this corner of Lombardy everything is about wine, starting from the shape. Infact, the Oltrepò Pavese has the triangular shape like a bunch of grapes, moreover it is crossed by the 45th parallel north defined the āparallel of wineā. Precisely, the 45th parallel āis a watershed between too cold in the North and too hot in the Southā, because it is equidistant from the North Pole and the Equator. This area is particularly suitable to produce great wines, as Bernard and Dussard explain in the book āLa Magie du 45e ParallĆØle: Latitude IdĆ©ale des Grands Vins du Mondeā. Moreover, the lay of the land and the microclimate characterized by a strong thermal excursion between night and day make Oltrepò Pavese an ideal habitat to produce quality grapes. Finally, the Apenninesā natural shield preserves the grapes from the dreaded frosts and environmental adversity.
For Cantina PrimaVena a genuinely good wine must be born from a healthy ecosystem. Therefore, in the vineyard we do not use plant protection products of harmful class and the soil is left covered with grass, to create a harmony between nature and manās work. Indeed, the grassing makes a natural balance in the vineyard between microorganisms and insects of the soil, it also maintains organic substances and protects the soil from erosion. Thus, we have depicted, with the image of the homepage, the ideal environment where to give birth to a good wine and summarized with the motto: āHonest with the Earth today to harvest well tomorrowā. We have represented many living species, from the largest to the smallest, because they all play an essential role in keeping the ecosystem in balance and they need to be protected for safeguarding collective well-being.
