Full description
Tasting wines on the 45th parallel is not something that happens every day: you are exactly halfway between the North Pole and the Equator, in the 'latitude of wine'!
Come and visit the Azienda Agricola Quaquarini in Oltrepò Pavese: an organic reality of excellence where you will discover the secrets of Metodo Classico and the legendary Buttafuoco.
A one and a half hour experience in which you will taste 4 glasses of wine accompanied by a platter of local cured meats and cheeses!
What we will do
The appointment is at the indicated time at the Azienda Agricola Quaquarini in Canneto Pavese (PV), in the splendid setting of the Oltrepò Pavese. The reception staff will accompany us to discover this certified organic farm since 2002.
We will start our visit from the company courtyard and, if the weather is on our side, we will take a walk in the vineyard located right above the property: from up here we will enjoy an extraordinary panorama of all the surrounding hills.
We will then enter the winery to discover the area dedicated to the barriques for ageing and the area reserved for the production of the Metodo Classico "Classese", the winery's flagship wine.
We will then move on to the tasting area, surrounded by the bottles on display, where we will delve into the winery's production philosophy. Here we will move on to the tasting of 4 wines: we will start with the Metodo Classico DOCG Pinot Nero "Classese" Bio 2017, and then continue with the Bonarda DOC "Riva di Sass" Bio (without added sulphites) 2024 and the Buttafuoco DOC "La Guasca" Bio 2020. We will end on a sweet note with the Sangue di Giuda DOC Bio, a sweet red wine friendly called 'traitor' for its pleasantness.
To accompany our glasses, we will be served a platter of local cured meats and cheeses, with bread and crunchy breadsticks.
The experience will last about 1½ hours in total.
