What grows here
Cigognola
22 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Perched on a strategic ridge overlooking where the Scuropasso stream meets the northern plains, Cigognola’s steep hills are crowned by a dramatic thirteenth-century castle. This unique topography shapes the microclimates of the clay slopes, making the village a vital hub for 22 protected designations. Chief among these hyper-local treasures is the sweet, sparkling Sangue di Giuda DOC, cultivated in a restricted zone of just 4 municipalities, alongside the robust Buttafuoco dell'Oltrepò Pavese DOC. Wine enthusiasts can explore this heritage firsthand at the 2 verified local producers based here, both of whom welcome visitors for cellar tours.
