Oltrepò Pavese Collection: a territory for elegant, natural wines
The Oltrepò Pavese collection is linked to a natural triangle in southern Lombardy bordering Piedmont, Liguria and Emilia. Its climate, solar exposure and vine-suited soils support the region’s viticulture. The landscape combines plains and green vineyard-covered hills overlooked by historic castles.
The article also places wine within local rural and culinary history, including agnolotti, risotto, meat, cured meats and fritters, and the older distinction between elaborate festive dishes and simple weekday food such as soup made from milk and stale bread.
