Oltrepo-Pavesi was the name first given to this
area of the Province of Pavia, in Lombardy where this wine comes from. The area is “Oltre” beyond the Po River when
considered from the provincial city of Pavia. The Oltrepo-Pavesi, with its
beautiful micro-climate influenced by the proximity of the Po River, is
bordered by Piedmont, Liguria and Emilia Romagna.
Croatina, also know locally as “Bonarda” is
one of the most grown variety of grape in this region.
The picture on the label
of our Croatina, is Bacchus, the mythical Roman God of wine. Here he shows the
social and beneficial influences of having great wine.
"Sentito" means
"Heartfelt”.
Tasting notes: This full-bodied red has candied fruit on the nose, flavors
of earthy red berry fruit, with a pleasant cherry finish. |
