A place where the countryside and the vineyard  convey colour and serenity, security and inner peace, where we feel at home with nature and pleasure in its company.

A land with gentle contrasts between the plain, the hills and the mountains of Oltrepo, which is the southern most part of Lombardy end of the Pavia province. The hills here form a triangle - land shaped like a bunch of grape, as  if symbolizing its destiny - that, from the plains along the Po river, gradually increases from 200 up to 700 mt. above sea level. Since thousands of years the Area has been highly suited to vinegrowing for the production of grapes and Great Wines. Viticulture in the Oltrepo is mentioned by classical Greek and Roman authors (including Pliny the Elder and Strabo).

Such heterogeneous landscape reminds of Burgundy, along the ideal line  that unites the great winegrowing territories in Europe: the 45th parallele, the so-called Europe's "Wines Band" develops. In this band, latitude, climate, and soils combine in an extraordinary mix of history and situations that give rise to excellence. Our Oltrepo is located right in the heart of the 45th parallel.

Italy's second largest winegrowing area, the Oltrepo Pavese is home to a natural Apennine environment. This area is less than 100  km from the seaside, and less than 40 km from Milano, separeted only by the green plains of the Po River.

In the municipality of Borgo Priolo, in the valley of the Coppa torrent, at 350 mt above sea level ( 250 - 400 mt a.s.l.), the TERROIR of the BOFFENISIO Valley is to be found. It is a splendid natural amphitheatre, surrounded  by a crown of untouched woods, the Torre del Monte wood. The splendid vineyeards, strictly tended in a natural way, are like the stands of a theatre. In the middle, finds its place the big house and the cellar where the grapes, which are all hand  picked  with a very low yield, become the protagonist and pure emotion. The soils of calcareous clayey marl, the inclination of the land rather steep, the temperate and dry climate, particularly the Boffenisio microclimate, which is always windy and  a wide astrong temperature range between day and night, all of them make it possible to have very fragrant wines, great in minerals, structure and elegance and finesse.
