Piccolo Bacco dei Quaroni
Piccolo Bacco dei Quaroni is a winery in the Oltrepò Pavese region that, far from the logic of industrial production, has rediscovered a new and vital passion for winemaking, linked to craftsmanship, nature, and the healthy peasant traditions of the territory. The credit goes to Mario Cavalli, a promoter of environmentally friendly viticulture and a precise idea of Oltrepò Pavese, who has managed the winery with his wife Laura Brazzoli since 2001.
The vineyards of Piccolo Bacco dei Quaroni, which also include very old plants, are cultivated under organic farming and are divided into 4 plots, designated to host different grape varieties depending on the different types of soil and microclimate: Casa Padroni, dedicated to the production of Buttafuoco; La Fiocca, which hosts different clones of Pinot Nero; Campasso, cultivated with Bonarda and Barbera; Fornacione, with high planting density and intended for the production of aging Bonarda. In the winery, spontaneous fermentations in steel tanks are favored, whose equipment of a cellulose filter and a temperature control system represent the only concession to modern technology.
The wines of Piccolo Bacco dei Quaroni demonstrate character and personality: their stylistic precision is animated by a pleasant and truthful drinkability. They are brilliant interpretations of the Oltrepò Pavese that showcase the potential and vocation of a very famous wine region still capable of revealing exciting discoveries.
