Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG “Gran Cuvée” Brut
Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG “Gran Cuvée” Brut
Tenuta Travaglino, Lombardy, Italy
2017
Pinot Nero (100%)
“Mature nose with sweet herbs and yellow fruit and touches of pie crust. The palate has a creamy texture and the round fleshiness that comes with the lowish acidity of the warm vintage.  A little short, finishes with notes of pear skin and bitter almonds, but a wine with personality.”
Richard Baudains
Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG Brut
Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG Brut
Cà del Gè, Lombardy, Italy
2016
Pinot Nero (100%)
“Very fine perlage and nose which opens with red cherry, sweet spice and custard cream and develops a hint of smokiness with air. Big impact palate, solid, full-bodied, but with a very fine weave, with a dosage that brings back the red fruit.  A food wine.”
Richard Baudains
Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG “Oltre il Classico” Extra Brut
Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG “Oltre il Classico” Extra Brut
Ca' di Frara, Lombardy, Italy
Non-vintage
Pinot Nero (100%)
“Very intense straw shade, going almost to blush. Very attractive, complex nose of herbaceous border and red apple. Palate with creamy texture, broad and quite soft. Low acidity means it is a little short, but it's dry without harshness. A little unrefined, but lots of personality.”
Richard Baudains

Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG “Pinot 64 Cuvée” Brut
Calatroni, Lombardy, Italy
2018
Pinot Nero (100%)
“Mousse is a little coarse and short. The nose is sour cherry with green herbs and a touch of pie crust. Lacking a little vitality on the palate, acidity a little rigid, not in harmony with the dosage. (Suspect cork - no score).”
Richard Baudains

Conte Vistarino, Lombardy, Italy
Non-vintage
Pinot Nero (85%)Chardonnay (15%)
“Intense straw shade, very fine mousse and long perlage. Complex, quite mature nose with notes of straw, apricot and lemon rind. There is breadth on the palate and the finish is round and fresh and very nicely balanced. Superior quality.”

Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG “Casto” Pas Dosé
Bosco Longhino, Lombardy, Italy
2018
Pinot Nero (100%)
“Fresh and open on the nose, with apple core, lemon cream and a hint of sloe berry. Light and crisp on the palate with lots of airy vitality and a long tangy finish. Bone dry without hardness. Great aperitif wine.”

Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG “Oltrenero” Brut
Tenuta il Bosco, Lombardy, Italy
Non-vintage
“Delicate saline-citrusy nose and good volume on the palate, with well-integrated CO2. Carefully judged acid-sugar balance in the finish which sees the return of the lemony fruit. Well-made, fresh and linear entry level.”
Richard Baudains

Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG “Cuvée Nero d'Oro” Extra Brut
Bertè e Cordini - Cantine Francesco Montagna, Lombardy, Italy

Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG Pas Dosé
Finigeto, Lombardy, Italy
2019
Pinot Nero (100%)
“The nose is refined and complex, with red apple, cherry, rose petal, an intriguing note of samphire and a touch of oatmeal biscuit. Great energy on the palate, long and incisive with a lingering, aromatic return (lime, wood ash) in the finish. Classy.”
Richard Baudains
