What grows here
Calvignano
21 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
The sharp elevation changes and well-drained slopes near Mount Ceresino, positioned between Casteggio and Montalto Pavese, define Calvignano’s viticulture. This hillside territory boasts 21 protected denominations, crowned by the highly localized Casteggio DOC, a wine limited to a zone of only 7 municipalities. These steep clay-limestone soils also yield the prestigious Pinot nero dell'Oltrepò Pavese DOC. The high-altitude winds and calcareous earth of this specific ridge lend these grapes their intense aromatic profile and structured acidity, making Calvignano a crucial micro-terroir in Pavia.
