METHOD CLASSIC PINOT NOIR ROSÉ "FARFALLA" COLLECTION N°11 - BALLABIO

In this Cuvée, made with infinite care and according to the strictest Ballabio tradition, the intensity and particular elegance of Pinot Noir vinified in rosé are celebrated.

Oltrepò Pavese is that hilly strip of land in the south of Lombardy known for being the meeting point of four regions: Lombardy, Piedmont, Liguria and Emilia Romagna. This peculiar characteristic makes the Oltrepò Pavese rich in different but well integrated cultures, languages, traditions and cuisines.

Equidistant from the North Pole and the Equator, where the lunar coolness of the North meets the solar heat of the South, is the 45th parallel, the quintessence of natural balance for the vine plant.
