The story
The Boatti family has been rooted in the Oltrepò Pavese region since the late 19th century. The first references to their winemaking activity date back to 1893. In the years that followed the estate expanded with the acquisition of Podere La Borla and underwent major winery modernizations led by Carlo Boatti in the mid-20th century. Today the estate is managed by the heirs and retains a strong identity focused on the production of quality sparkling wines.
Production philosophy
Strong focus on terroir and quality: cultivation of hillside vineyards, controlled vinification using modern technologies, and production centered on expressing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay via the Traditional Method, accompanied by still wines that reflect the territory. The estate emphasizes family tradition and meticulous technical care in both vineyard and cellar.
Terroir and vineyards
Headquartered in Torricella Verzate, in the heart of Oltrepò Pavese; vineyards are located on hills at about 160–200 meters above sea level, on clayey and calcareous soils that favor temperature variation and traits of freshness and minerality.
Awards and recognition
Numerous awards in industry competitions and guides: among the prizes and mentions are Oscar Douja d’Or, a certificate of merit at Vinitaly, mentions and awards in national guides and recent recognitions awarded to the sparkling wines.
