Tenuta Il Bosco
The home of Pinot Noir, in the heart of Oltrepò Pavese
About the winery
Tenuta il Bosco is located in the Oltrepò Pavese zone, in the Province of Pavia in Lombardy. It has been making a name for itself over the last decade by producing exciting, high-quality sparkling wines. This has been possible thanks to the recognition of the Oltrepò Pavese as the birthplace of Pinot Noir (Pinot Nero) in Italy. Pinot Noir’s reputation as essential for high-end sparkling wines, as well as incredibly fine and elegant reds, does not come, however, without its share of challenges. This variety is very unpredictable in both the vineyard and the cellar. However, the finished product can be truly remarkable.
