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

The grapes are vinified with great care in order to express the characteristics of the area to the full. After the malolactic fermentation it is aged for six months, thus attaining greater harmony and complexity.

Tasting Note

Pleasantly delicate and fresh, with hints of roses, soft and rich, with discreet almond notes

Food Matching

An excellent food wine, it goes particularly well with meat dishes (especially boiled meats and roasts), or with mature cheeses.
