Pavia, Italy
Marchesi di Montalto
A small Oltrepò Pavese estate in the Pavia orbit, Marchesi di Montalto is strongest when read through terrain: hillside vineyards, calcareous soils, altitude around 390–410 metres, and a cellar focused on Pinot Noir and Riesling. The appeal is rural, quiet and technical rather than showy, with private and vineyard-focused tastings shaping the visit.
