Ca'Montebello Oltrepo Pavese Pinot Nero Vinificato in Bianco 2023 garganega honeycomb and white pepper with

honeycomb and white pepper with the barest whiff of botrytis on the nose

and blackberry

layered aromas of Luxardo cherries

When out of nowhere in the desert an oasis of 300

In a region where terraced vineyards are already difficult to work and where tractors fear to tread

Ca'Montebello Oltrepo Pavese Pinot Nero Vinificato in Bianco 2023 garganega honeycomb and white pepper withOltrepo Pavese is a curious corner of Italys wine map. The name means The bit of Pavia on the other side of the Po, a name obviously written by people on the north side of the river. Most of Lombardy is filled by the fertile Po valley and the many fingered city of Milan, but at the regions southern extremity, the Apennine foothills cut into the plain, and mark the start of a small, hilly wine region, very different from nearby Piedmont.
