Ballabio
In the heart of the suggestive Lombardy region, among the soft hills of the Oltrepò Pavese, stands the Ballabio winery, a name that resonates like a refined melody in the panorama of Italian sparkling wines. Founded on a winemaking tradition that has its roots in a past rich in passion and dedication, Ballabio has distinguished itself for its ability to transform Pinot Noir into authentic effervescent works of art.
The Ballabio winery has been able to capture the essence of the Oltrepò Pavese territory, recognized as one of the Italian cradles for the Classic Method. Here, Pinot Noir finds an ideal habitat, thanks to a unique microclimate that caresses the vines and a soil that enhances their qualities. The winery's production philosophy is based on a harmonious balance between tradition and innovation, where each production step is cared for with an almost obsessive attention to detail.
The flagship label, Farfalla Metodo Classico, perfectly embodies the elegance and precision that characterize Ballabio production. This sparkling wine presents itself with a fine and persistent perlage, which opens in a bouquet of floral and fruity aromas, enveloping the palate with a freshness and complexity that make it an unforgettable sensory experience.

THE COMPANY
If we talk about Oltrepò Pavese, a land with a well-known sparkling wine tradition, it is impossible not to mention the Ballabio winery, founded over a century ago, exactly in 1905, by Angelo Ballabio, a name now synonymous with great quality enology. With 100 thousand bottles produced per year, the Casteggio company currently belongs to Filippo Nevelli and his son Mattia, who, after having equipped the cellar with the most modern technologies, have decidedly embarked on the path of sparkling the Ballabio company in an undisputed point of reference for what concerns the production of bubbles in the Pavia area. The vineyard land of the company extends for about fifty hectares, with a rich and varied subsoil, due to the changes in the different geological eras, which have contributed to its current conformation. The only grape variety grown is Pinot Noir, a grape typically used in the production of high-class Classic Method sparkling wines. Not an easy grape, Pinot Noir is best expressed in these lands rich in limestone sediments. The only labels produced by the Ballabio company are therefore the sparkling ones, which enjoy elegance and structure, olfactory breadth and gustatory clarity; celebrated and loved by connoisseurs. "Farfalla" is the spearhead of the cellar, an excellent expression of the best of the Oltrepò area, both in the classic Extra Brut version and in the refined Zero Dosage.
