Therefore I was quite thrown off balance when I tasted the metodo classico wines from Castello di Cigognola ... Owned by Moratti, a family of entrepreneurs, the team at the property have set themselves the lofty goal of challenging not Franciacorta but Champagne. Their secret weapon is north-facing, mature vineyards of Pinot Noir at elevations of at least 350 m (1,150 ft). Fully ripe grapes are what they are after, something which Oltrepò Pavese routinely delivers year after year, making adding sugar at any stage of the winemaking process unnecessary. The Morattis have taken on board star oenologist Federico Staderini, who among others is responsible for the Poggio di Sotto Brunellos that are extremely elegant even though they are grown in one of Montalcino's warmer areas. And that seems to be the Staderini signature: Oltrepò Pavese can be very warm, but the first releases of Castello di Cigognola do not reflect this in the least. What they show, dare I say it, is that Oltrepò Pavese can be a very good place to produce top Pinot Noirs and not just in sparkling form.\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castello Di Cigognola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43620367696126,"sku":"UVCA45","price":99.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/1692\/7337\/products\/TWCA11_PER_PAPA_2012_Castello_di_Cigognola_75cl_3d04a16b-caf7-4fc6-9c4d-c13b8cb637c5.png?v=1666162146"},{"product_id":"moon-nature-pas-dose-2022-tasi-75cl","title":"MOON NATURE Pas Dose 2022 [Tasi] 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eMedium Body, Dry (Garganega).
