What grows here
Castana
21 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Castana’s steep clay slopes, dividing the parallel valleys of Versa and Scuropasso in Pavia province, form a crucible for intense viticulture. This specific ridge geography shapes the robust character of Buttafuoco dell'Oltrepò Pavese DOC, a prized red wine restricted to just 7 municipalities. Out of 21 overlapping protected denominations here, local viticultural expertise is preserved by 2 registered producers, both of whom welcome visitors. The microclimate between these two river valleys coaxes structural complexity from late-ripening grapes, ensuring that Castana's bottles capture the concentrated essence of this Lombardian hillside.
