Castello di Cigognola

The vineyard is part of the D.O.C. Oltrepò Pavese area. Seventeen hectares of land with a specific winemaking vocation for the vine growing in the area: Barbera.Vineyards are approximately 350 meters above sea-level, on very steep plots of land. The microclimate is extraordinary in the area: low rainfall rate, winters not too cold, wide range of temperature between day and night, and light wind blowing throughout the year, playing a protection role. Human work does the rest: Guyot cultivation, with a density of 3,800 vines per hectare, short pruning, natural soil grassing, no fertilizers, and significant grape bunch thinning out.The Oltrepò Pavese of Castello di Cigognola has a very strong connection with that past: it is a high-class wine, able to express its potentials, and the real character of vines and its land.
