Producer Information

Tenuta il Bosco is located in Zenevredo, a small town in the Province of Pavia. The history of viticulture in Oltrepò Pavese dates back to the time of the barbarians, whose originals can be traced beyond the River Po. Over the centuries, claims to the lands have been disputed between some of history’s greatest powers: France, Spain, and Austria.

Eventually the region fell under the reign of Maria Theresa of the House of Habsburg, who ceded the area to the crown of Sardinia. In 1987, the Zonin family acquired the estate. They have since taken great strides in revitalizing local varietals and developing elegant and crisp sparkling wines, which have earned Oltrepò Pavese numerous accolades.

Wine Making

Vinified by traditional methods in order to emphasize its attractive fruitiness, it is then re-fermented to obtain a fragrant, lightly fizzy style.

Tasting Note

Rounded and savoury. Intensely fruity, with hints of violets, bitter almonds, black cherries and plums.

Food Matching

Excellent with savory tarts, agnolotti, meatfi lled ravioli, sausages, roast or stewed white meats, and moderately aged cheeses.
