The winemaking history of Oltrepò Pavese dates back to Roman times, when grape varieties were already cultivated to produce wines appreciated throughout the region. During the Middle Ages, Oltrepò wines gained prestige thanks to monks, who perfected cultivation and winemaking techniques, taking full advantage of the area’s unique climatic and geological characteristics.
