Boveri Luigi
Luigi Boveri faithfully represents the character of a figure obtained from the fusion of peasant tradition and oenological innovation, drawing heavily from the foundations laid by the generations that preceded him. In Costa Vescovato, in the Colli Tortonesi, he has been vinifying on his own officially since 1998, the year the new winery was built, but he has been managing it since 1992, when he decided to direct the company's production exclusively towards viticulture. Thus, the agricultural techniques on which the company founded by Luigi's grandfather, which primarily produced cereals and fodder, were abandoned, and the cultivated hectares were increased, now 15, where the native varieties that characterize Tortonese viticulture, namely Timorasso, Barbera, Croatina, and Cortese, grow.
The grape variety that Boveri Luigi focuses on the most is undoubtedly Timorasso, which boasts an ancient and uncertain history in these territories of the Province of Tortona and which saw a remarkable rediscovery by local winemakers towards the end of the 1980s, driven by the great untapped and almost unknown potential of this variety, they have resumed planting it and vinifying it, thus obtaining a recognizable and territorial stronghold of Tortonese production that manages to deliver unusual results of finesse and complexity, with the Municipality of Costa Vescovato as the epicenter.
Here among the Colli Tortonesi, Luigi Boveri cultivates his vineyards according to the rules of the winemaking tradition passed down over the decades, while constantly updating himself on technological innovations aimed at producing high-class bottles, although his essential resource is undoubtedly the help of his wife Germana, who actively manages the administration and communication of the reality, as well as sales, both in Italy and abroad. The owned vineyards are entirely located in the municipality of Costa Vescovato, and the plots of land used for the growth of white grape varieties are composed of soils based on marls and limestone, with remnants of marine fossils that give the finished products saline and mineral notes.
