ABOUT Oltrenero
Oltrenero meaning “beyond the dark” is named after the colour of the Pinot Noir grapes which make this Traditional Method sparkling wine. Vines have been cultivated in the Oltrepó Pavese area since the Middle Ages, when Benedectine monks worked the land. Fragrant and seductive, this is a sparkling wine of authentic class. Its bubbles are infnite in its persistence and its delightful glow is reminiscent of the sunset in the Oltrepò.
