Made especially for Boutinot from grapes grown on the south facing, chalky Ginestra vineyard in the gently hilly Oltrepo Pavese DOC, the ‘Tuscany of northern Italy’. It’s a pure, gently aromatic style, crisp and lightly nutty, and a savoury, textural finish from 4 months on fine lees.
Production
The Pinot Grigio grapes are organically grown, harvested by hand, and undergo careful selection. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature (17°C), and the wine is then kept on fine lees for at least four months.

Tasting notes
A subtle, honeyed and lightly floral nose with citrus and white peach notes. The palate has fresh stone fruit and lemony characters leading to a gentle, textured mid-palate and an attractively crisp, saline finish with a touch of white spice.
Food match
Ideal as an aperitif, excellent with summery appetizers and fish dishes.

Meet the producer
Castel del Lupo, in the heart of Oltrepò Pavese, dates back centuries - and includes the eighteenth century Palazzo Pegazzera. In 1974 three entrepreneurs took over this historic estate and began a regeneration process. Giovanni Doglio, whose father and grandfather were both Piemontese winemakers, has over 40 years experience managing wineries. Recently joined by his daughter Federica, he has worked tirelessly to develop the estate. They have purchased more vineyards (to cover 100ha at around 300m altitude), planted new vines and built a new cellar. The vineyards are now certified organic. The winery's main focus is high quality bottle-fermented sparkling wine, and much of the vineyard is planted with Pinot Noir for this purpose. However, these vines are also the source of fine still red wines.
