ACHILLI MARTINO

From Santa Maria della Versa, in Oltrepò Pavese, Achilli Martino produces spumante metodo classico DOCG, the denomination that encompasses forty-one municipalities in the province of Pavia. The metodo classico here is a demanding choice: bottle refermentation and a minimum rest of fifteen months on the lees build complexity and finesse one bubble at a time. Oltrepò is a land exceptionally suited to Pinot nero, and its sparkling wine is its most demanding expression. The base draws from four grape varieties — primarily Pinot nero, then Chardonnay, Pinot grigio, and Pinot bianco — from which the sparkling wine and rosé version are born. The house oversees every step, from crushing to bottling, maintaining direct control that allows it to move from small batches to large volumes without compromising consistency. It's a way of being in Oltrepò that entrusts recognition not to a fortunate vintage but to the repeatability of the method, year after year and without fanfare.
