What grows here
Fortunago
20 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Fortunago crests the ridges separating the Coppa and Ardivestra valleys in Lombardy's Oltrepò hills. This elevated topography provides the steep slopes and sharp temperature shifts crucial for premium viticulture. Here, these specific conditions yield 20 protected denominations. Prominent among these local specialties is the sparkling Oltrepò Pavese metodo classico DOCG, which shares these high hillsides with the vibrant Oltrepò Pavese Pinot grigio DOC. Calcareous soils and ventilation shape the distinct identity of these wines, demonstrating how this narrow divide between two river valleys fosters world-class, bottle-fermented sparkling wines.
