Pinot Grigio Castel del Lupo Della Ginestra Organic

Castel del Lupo, in the heart of Oltrepograve; Pavese, dates back centuries - and includes the eighteenth century Palazzo Pegazzera. In 1974 three entrepreneurs took over this historic estate and began a regeneration process. Giovanni Doglio, whose father and grandfather were both Piemontese winemakers, has over 40 years experience managing wineries. Recently joined by his daughter Federica, he has worked tirelessly to develop the estate. They have purchased more vineyards (to cover 100ha at around 300m altitude), planted new vines and built a new cellar. The vineyards are now certified organic. 

From grapes grown on the south facing, chalky Ginestra vineyard in the gently hilly Oltrepo Pavese DOC, the ‘Tuscany of northern Italy’. It’s a pure, gently aromatic style, crisp and lightly nutty, and a savoury, textural finish from 4 months on fine lees.
