Vespolina

Vespolina: wines with an authentic character from Northern Piemonte and Oltrepò

The Vespolina collection gathers labels that tell the story of two vocated and complementary territories: Northern Piemonte, with Ghemme in the foreground, and Oltrepò Pavese, where this grape variety contributes to wines with a strong and territorial profile. It is a selection designed for those seeking red wines with personality, a precise identity, and a modern interpretation of a historical tradition.

On this page, you will find wines signed by producers such as Barbacarlo Azienda Agricola di Lino Maga, Mirù Azienda Agricola, and Rovellotti - Viticoltori in Ghemme, entities that interpret the strength of Vespolina and the denominations in which it appears with different yet coherent styles.

What character does Vespolina have

Vespolina is a grape variety that gives wines color, spiciness, and a recognizable taste structure. In the wines of the collection, a dynamic drinkability often emerges, with a balance between structure, tension, and aromatic depth. It is an important presence both in territorial cuvées and in wines that emphasize a single vineyard or a specific vintage.

In the context of Ghemme, Vespolina expresses itself in wines of great finesse, while in Oltrepò Pavese, it contributes to more straightforward and gastronomic reds. For this reason, the collection is suitable for those who want to explore the most authentic face of wines from Piemonte and Northern Lombardy.

The denominations present in the selection

The selection includes labels such as Ghemme Vigna Cavenago DOCG Mirù, Costa del Salmino Ghemme DOCG Riserva, and Chioso dei Pomi 2014 Ghemme DOCG, as well as wines from Oltrepò Pavese like Oltrepò Pavese Rosso DOC Vigna Barbacarlo 2019, Lino Maga Vigna Barbacarlo 2021, Lino Maga Vigna Barbacarlo 2020, and Montebuono Oltrepo Pavese DOC. The presence of different vintages makes the collection interesting even for those who want to compare the stylistic evolution of wine over time.

These are wines that speak of territories historically linked to reds of structure, longevity, and great personality, ideal for those seeking non-standardized and strongly identity-driven bottles.
