Producer
The Torti winery was established in 1910 by Giovanni Torti. Succeeding generations have been heavily involved in winemaking and the winery today is operated by Dino Torti. Taking pride in their expansive vineyards, the winery has had particular success with Pinot Nero and especially indigenous grape varietals which thrive in the Lombardy region
Winemaking
Originally from Piedmonte, the Barabera del Monferrato grapes thrive in Oltrepo Pavese. Vinification focuses on showcasing the vibrant characteristics of the Barbera grape.
Fun Fact
Situated in Lombardy, the Oltrepo Pavese area is the most northerly wine region in Italy. Its town of Pavia (Pavese in Italian) is just 45 kms south of Milan. It is bordered by the regions of Emilia-Romagna and Piedmont. Amazingly, the area is “shaped like a bunch of grapes”, and is located exactly half way between the North Pole and the Equator, on the 45th parallel like Bordeaux in France.
Food pairing
A versatile wine which can be paired with roasted and braised meat dishes as well as strong cheeses.
