| Somewhere in Italy, in Lombardia, there is a village called "Montebello Della Battaglia". Situated south of the river Po, on the border of the Appenines range. The region is known as the OltrePo' Pavese. Outside the village, on the crest of the hill, live some strange folks, speak a language foreign to the locals, although they can speak Italian (somehow!), they have these enormous hounds which roam their lands.... |

| I was born in Burundi where I spent my youth. My father was belgian and my mother irish ( I have dominant irish genes!). My hobbies and interest are: aviation , computer, celtic culture, Guinness, Bushmills whiskey, horses and of course Irish Wolfhounds and a good glass of wine with my meals! Putting all that together, what do you get: A tired celtic (irish) warrior on his horse with a couple if Irish wolfhounds on his side. He is roaming through a vineyard holding a pint of Guinness laced with Irish whiskey, looking at bird flyings and wondering when the computer will be invented so he could enjoy a decent flight simulator! |  |

| Our house and vineyard. The hilly strip, prior to reach the actual Appennines, is the actual wine country. The exceptional red wines, the high quality and the different types of white wines, both still and sparkling, the fact that being the natural birth place of the italian sparkling wines from black, grey and white pinot grapes, all combine to make the Oltrepo Pavese district one of the most important in the field of italian wine production. If you do pass in the region, come and visit us and more important is the annual wine fair in Casteggio, usually held the last week end of August. A real must as the starting point for the wine road of Oltrepo Pavese. We have the variety called Barbera, its robe is strong ruby red, limpid, brilliant, the bouquet is winy but with age takes a characteristic perfume and its flavour is palatably dry, with body, slightly tannic, acidulous and can be lively ( frizzante). A typical alcohol level would be 11.5-12 deg, my production however reaches 12.5 to 13 deg. The wine is produced through a process which is 100% natural and does not contains any additives nor products of conservation. |  |
