Wineries

Giorgi

The “S.a.S. Giorgi & C.” company was founded in 1875 and has known three generations of vinegrowers. With three great detached wineries for processing, packaging and storage of wines, it has equipped them with modern and sophisticated machinery.

The first, situated in the Casa Chizzoli district, has a capacity of more or less 20,000 quintals of wine and inside of it we find vinification plants of white and red grapes. The product here obtained is transported, through cisterns, in a second winery, located in the Camponoce di Canneto Pavese district, the main seat of the structure, where in addition to the modern bottling chain, the administrative offices are placed. The bottled and packaged wine, partly remains in the above–mentioned winery and partly is transported to the third winery, which was the old seat, located in the Vigalone district.

The company also has a fourth cellar, underground, which enjoys an ideal temperature for the second fermentation of sparkling wine and for the aging of valuable red wines.

Azienda Agricola Travaglino

Travaglino is a reality in continuous development, which supports for the production of all the company’s sparkling wines the exclusive use of steel during the ripening phases, in order to safeguard and enhance the varietal features of the vines. Worth to mention is Oltrepò Pavese Brut Cuve 59 2006, based on the character of Pinot Nero and able, in pairings, to step up with red meats. Excellent result also for the other samples tasted. Oltrepò Pavese Brut Classese 2006 has not been produced due to climate ranges not suitable for that label.

Bruno Verdi

The story of the Verdi family in Vergomberra dates back to the eighteent century, when Antonio Verdi, probably from the Duchy of Parma, settled in Oltrepo Pavese. Since then, four generations have succeeded in the care of the family lands. According to the market of that time, they produced wheat and other cereals; mulberries gave the leaves for rearing silkworms; a good number of poles were dedicated to vines and, last but not least in the typical productions of Oltrepò. Already with Luigi, the third generation, the Verdi combine the care of the vineyards with the art of transforming grapes into wine and founded the first winery. A legacy that was passed down from father to son, along with the passion and love for quality.



A typically patriarchal family, as was customary then, but with the fourth generation the divisions of property began. After Luigi, Clemente succeeded, and then Alfredo, Knight of Vittorio Veneto, and Bruno, the first one to bottle and sign his bottles with his own label, in the years immediately after the war, and his son Paolo, the latest of the seven generations.

Albani

We cultivate the vineyards according to the methods of sustainable farming, to obtain that originality that only the location of the vineyard can transmit naturally to wine.

The soil receives attentions and care, to transfer balance to vineyards, especially through vegetation that grows wild in the rows. Chemical fertilizers are avoided.

In the pest management products with systemic action, herbicides, insecticides and products against botrytis are not used.

Ripe and healthy grapes, accurate selections at harvest; wines grown trusting on the fullness and the integrity that comes from their fruits; minimal or absent sulphuring and filtration; we do not omit anything to get generous, healthy, long–lived wines, that accompany well food.
