Sbarbatello, translating to “pipsqueak” or rookie”, is produced from 100% indigenous
red berry Pinot Noir grapes. The vineyards are rooted in clayey terroir at approximately 420 meters above sea level, benefiting from optimal south-facing exposure.

Cover cropping is practiced in the vineyard, and the plants are allowed to grow freely without invasive or mechanical treatments. Likewise, in the cellar, natural winemaking methods are employed, allowing the grapes to express their aromas to the fullest. No filtration or clarification operations are carried out.

Winery: Castello di Stefanago
Certified Organic
(Lombardia, Italy)
Castello di Stefanago is the result of generations of grapes: The Baruffaldis have strived to maintain respect for the terroir as well as the earth in their winemaking. The winery is located in Lombardy in the Oltrepo Pavese hills at between 320 and 470 meters above sea level. The cellars are in the castle which remains from the fourteenth century in the center of the property, around which there are about eighteen hectares of vines and 135 hectares of meadows, forests, orchards, and arable land. Antonio and Giacomo Baruffaldi have long followed organic farming, striving to achieve healthy, natural grapes, which are harvested at the appropriate level of maturity and reflect the terroir on which they are grown. In the cellar, the Baruffaldis keep in mind the natural inclinations of each must, of the natural evolution of each cuvé, using barrels of various woods and sizes. The vineyard currently produces Riesling Renano, Pinot Grigio, Müller-Thurgau, Chardonnay, Croatina (Bonarda), Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlo, Uva Rara, and Pinot Nero.
