Marchese Adorno Winery

A Winery Nestled in the Cultural Heart of Lombardia

Marchese Adorno Winery is situated in the picturesque Staffora Valley, within the Oltrepò Pavese region. This area boasts a rich history of winemaking, complemented by stunning landscapes and medieval castles. A striking pyramid in the winery's rose garden marks the entrance to the underground barrique cellar, serving as a historical symbol of the estate.

Marchese Adorno Wines – A Tradition Since 1834

Founded in the early 1830s, Marchese Adorno Winery began with the Adorno family's passion for producing Barbera and Cortese wines. These grape varieties remain the estate's flagship offerings. The family has maintained their winemaking traditions while incorporating innovative practices over the years. Marcello Cattaneo Adorno, the current owner, took over the family business in 1997 and has since modernized the winery, investing significantly in its development.

Historic Vineyards with Rich Terroirs

Today, Marcello oversees 65 hectares of vineyards, with plans to expand by an additional 15 hectares. He has revitalized the old vineyards by planting high-quality clones of international grape varieties, including Merlot, Cabernet, and Syrah. The estate also nurtures native varieties such as Croatina, Barbera, Pinot Grigio, and Cortese. Nestled between the rolling hills of Piedmont and Emilia, the vineyards benefit from an ideal climate, resulting in wines that are aromatic and elegant.
