Solinghino Buttafuoco DOC Picchioni

The adventure began in 1988 with the discovery of some old vineyards on the hills of Canneto Pavese, which were considered particularly suitable for the production of wines of the highest quality. The restoration of these vineyards was a great challenge for Andrea Picchioni, but it was embraced with enthusiasm. The Picchioni winery is located on a small plot of about seven hectares in the Solinga Valley. The vineyards grow on a steeply sloping south-facing hillside, on sandy and gravelly soil. The endless summer days give the grapes all the energy they need for full ripening: The vines struggle in the light and heat for every single drop of water.
