Description
Pinot Noir has been cultivated for more than 150 years in Oltrepò Pavese, the first wine-growing area in Italy for the production of this noble variety. The sparkling wine tradition is well established in the Versa Valley, where there are the vineyards most suited to the production of Pinot Noir grapes for sparkling wine, with altitudes reaching up to 550 m a.s.l.
BUTÒN in our dialect means sprout. Pinot Noir is the earliest variety among those grown on the farm to sprout.
The vineyard where we harvest the Pinot Noir grapes for the classic method is actually the last one where, in spring, we observe the vegetative revival of the vines, as it is located on a side with little exposure to the sun and one of the coolest and most ventilated in the area. . These environmental factors allow a slow ripening of the bunches while preserving the acidity and fresh aromas, distinctive features of the tasting of our classic method. The budding of these vines marks, for our family, the beginning of a new vintage, a moment of great emotion and good omen as we wish the opening of a bottle of BUTÒN would be.
