Product information
Firm red wine from pinot noir grapes
From vineyards purchased in the early 1990s by the Fioravanti family comes this Pinot Noir with intense, mouthwatering fruit.
The grapes are harvested in the first decade of September and pressed within an hour of picking.
The maceration goes on for about 10 days (the first 3 days with temperatures below 3 °C) before the base is divided into 2 distinct batches: the first (about 80%) will continue its journey in steel, the second (about 20%) will undergo a passage in oak casks.
The bases are blended after 6 months and bottled in July.
The wine, with its blackberry and currant notes, is fully respectful of the varietal; the slight aging in wood completes its structure, softening its tannins.
It is exalted by first courses with red meat or game sauces and lightand summery meat main courses. A wine that wants to be drunk and loved, to be enjoyed by looking into each other's eyes when words become superfluous.
Great at 14-16 °C.

The Calatroni family
In 1964 grandfather Luigi bought the land that two generations of the Calatroni family have been working as sharecroppers. We began our venture producing traditional wines from Croatina and Barbera grapes, but from 2002 on, under the guidance of brothers Cristian and Stefano, the youngest generation of the family, the focus has more and more shifted to Pinot Noir. We vinify the noble grape as a red wine and especially as white and rosé Metodo Classico sparkling wines. The current production of Metodo Classico has reached 100.000 bottles, all carrying the Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG.
“The first vintage of our Metodo Classico sparkling wines was in 2008. Right from the very beginning, we had a clear vision of the style of our Metodo Classico: elegant, fresh, mineral bubbles, that must be the truest expression of the grape, of the soils where it’s planted and the peculiarities of the vintage”
Today, the Calatroni brothers grow about 25 hectares of organic vineyards with the invaluable help of their parents Fausto and Marisa, embracing sustainability as the core value of their philosophy of work. In recent years we opened our agriturismo and launched our hospitality program.
“We are fully aware of the vital importance of safeguarding the environment in which we live and which offers us the basic resources to produce our wines. That’s why environmental, social and food sustainability issues have become more and more relevant to us over the years, inspiring a set of choices and practices”
Visiting our winery is not just a chance to taste our wines: we hope to offer you an insight into the Oltrepò Pavese region and its wine & food culture, to let you feel the passion that constantly fuels our love for wine and to share with you our vision and our dreams.
