This Buttafuoco from Picchioni, representing the Oltrepò Pavese region, typically showcases a vibrant ruby red color. On the nose, expect an enticing bouquet of red fruits like sour cherry and plum, often accompanied by spicy notes, hints of dried herbs, and a distinctive earthy undertone. The palate is usually dry and robust, with a pleasing acidity and firm, yet balanced, tannins. Flavors mirror the aromas, with a savory, persistent finish that might include a touch of bitter almond or black pepper, reflecting its blend of Croatina, Barbera, and Uva Rara.
