BRANDOLINI PIETRO DI BRANDOLINI VITTORINA E RICCARDI RICCARDO Societa’ Agricola (Az. Agr.)

In San Damiano al Colle, on the hilly side of Oltrepò Pavese, the winery run by Pietro Brandolini with Vittorina Brandolini and Riccardo Riccardi focuses on a single register: metodo classico sparkling wines. Pinot Nero and Chardonnay, alongside local white grape varieties, undergo a second fermentation in the bottle and rest there for at least fifteen months, the time required for the yeast to impart finesse and complexity to the wine. The result is a spumante and a rosé that bear the mineral signature of the Pavese soils, within the constraints of the Oltrepò Pavese metodo classico DOCG. Here, the choice is clear: no dispersion across multiple lines, but concentration on a single oenological gesture repeated vintage after vintage. Those who wish to understand how grapes become perlage can stop by the cellar: the winery welcomes visitors and guides them through the process from harvest to disgorgement, showcasing the slow pace imposed by the denomination.
