Production and refinement

Pinot 64 Metodo Classico Brut is made from hand-harvested Pinot Noir grapes, picked into crates from vines grown on calcareous soils at around 300 meters above sea level. The harvest is brought forward to ensure freshness and acidity, with a strict selection of the grapes.

The grapes are gently pressed and ferment in stainless steel tanks. The wine undergoes bottle fermentation according to the Metodo Classico and ages on the lees for at least 30 months in stacks under controlled temperature. Disgorging is done "à la glace," with the addition of a small dose of dosage liquid.

Lombardy

The first evidence of vine cultivation in Lombardy dates back to prehistoric settlements on the lakes of Garda and Iseo, but it is only in contemporary times - post-phylloxera - that the focus has been on quality, also thanks to the introduction of American vine rootstocks. Thanks to the diversity of terroirs, viticulture here has given rise to a prominent ampelographic landscape, with a multitude of native grape varieties and wines that are a pride not only for the peninsula but also abroad (first and foremost Franciacorta DOCG, appreciated worldwide).

Lombardy is very extensive, therefore it presents areas with different characteristics both in terms of climate and soil. There are decidedly mountainous areas, as well as flat or partially hilly areas.
The main production areas are concentrated in the southern foothills, with the Garda area (with its unique microclimate thanks to the influence of the lakes), Oltrepò Pavese to the west, Brescia and Bergamo in the central part of the region, and Valtellina on the border with Austria.

In the region, wines of all types are produced, and there are five DOCG regions: Franciacorta in Brescia, Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico in the province of Pavia, Moscato di Scanzo in Bergamo (the smallest denomination in Italy), and Sforzato di Valtellina and Valtellina Superiore in the province of Sondrio.

Oltrepò Pavese

The Oltrepò Pavese is a naturally suited area for the production of grapes and excellent wines. With a vineyard surface area of 13,500 hectares, out of a regional total of 24,000, it represents approximately 55% of Lombardy's vineyard area. The terrain is hilly with steep slopes rising up to 1,700 meters above sea level in the first Apennines, with more rounded ridges in the eastern area towards Piacenza. The hills of the Oltrepò offer a landscape of great allure and represent the third Italian area in terms of surface area almost entirely dedicated to vineyards, with predominantly denomination productions.

The variety of the terrain, the proximity to the sea, and the presence of water influence the climate, which is mild and temperate, with excellent temperature fluctuations between night and day. The most representative grape varieties include Pinot Noir, Croatina, Barbera, and Riesling, but also rare grapes such as Vespolina, Pinot Bianco and Grigio, Cortese Bianco, Moscato, and Malvasia. The DOCG Oltrepò Pavese is of utmost importance, particularly in the following types: Metodo Classico Oltrepò Pavese DOCG, Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG rosé, Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG Pinot Nero, Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG Pinot Nero rosé.
In the heart of the hills of Oltrepò Pavese, an enchanting landscape and a rich wine history blend together.
