Buttafuoco dell'Oltrepò Pavese
Wine · PDO · 7 municipalities
Recognized since 2011, Buttafuoco dell’Oltrepò Pavese is a Lombardy red wine produced across seven specific municipalities, including Canneto Pavese and Broni. What sets this denomination apart from its regional peers is its uncompromising labeling ban: the official rules explicitly forbid terms like "riserva." Furthermore, its still and sparkling frizzante versions share identical production standards, requiring a maximum yield of 10.5 tonnes per hectare and a distinct blend combining a minimum of 25 percent Barbera and 25 percent Croatina. The resulting wine is dry, full-bodied, and intense, offering a highly regulated expression of these native grapes without relying on aging classifications.
