Description

The ancient technique of cutting the vine shoot interrupts the flow of liquids from the vine to the bunch, inducing a drying of the grapes and intensifying the concentration of the juice. The berries are flooded with sunlight, which gives breadth and depth to the aromatic spectrum developed in the skin.

  • Hectares: 28
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.

In 2020, the following were awarded: Castello di Cigognola Gian Marco e Letizia Moratti Rosé was awarded by Merum (1 heart) and a bronze medal by The Italian WIne Competition; Castello di Cigognola Gian Marco e Letizia Moratti Dodici Dodici was awarded a silver medal by The Wine Competition; Castello di Cigognola Gian Marco and Letizia Moratti Barbera Provincia di Pavia Barberasso 2018 was awarded 92 points by Luca Maroni and bronze medal by The Italian Wine Competition; Castello di Cigognola Gian Marco e Letizia Moratti Cuvèe More Brut was awarded 90 points by Merum (1 heart), The Wine Hunter (Red), Luca Maroni and silver medal by The Wine Competition; Castello di Cigognola Gian Marco and Letizia Moratti Cuvèe dell'Angelo 2012 has been awarded by Merum (1 heart), by The Wine Hunter (Gold), by Bibenda with 5 bunches, by Doctor Wine with 96 points and with the gold medal from The Wine Competition; Castello di Cigognola Gian Marco and Letizia Moratti La Maga has been awarded with the silver medal from The Wine Competition; Castello di Cigognola Gian Marco and Letizia Moratti cuvèe More Pas Dose was awarded by Merum (2 hearts) and by Gambero Rosso with 3 red glasses; Castello di Cigognola Per Papà was awarded by The Wine Hunter (Red) and with the bronze medal by The Wine Competition.
