Buttafuoco, Oltrepò Pavese Rosso

A structured, fruity red made from a blend of 65% Croatina, 25% Barbera and 10% Uva Rara. The vineyards are divided into several parcels located in the neighboring villages of Canneto Pavese and Castana. After manual harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and undergo a two-day cold maceration; then, there is a brief fermentation period with a series of remontages which results in a wine of substantial concentration but with very gentle tannins.
