The best wineries in San Colombano al Lambro.
Poderi di San Pietro, built at the seat of the former Agricultural Consortium of San Colombano, in 1998, was taken over by the Neuroniagrari company in 2008.
With its 75 hectares of land, of which about 65 cultivated with vines, and a production volume of 4,500 hectoliters of wine a year, the company is a representative of the wine excellence for the whole district and province of Milan.
In its wine cellar of over 4,000 square meters, including 2,000 square meters underground for the barriques, an intelligent technology is used: all tanks are made of steel, heat–conditioned and saturated with nitrogen. The fining of the wine, then, continues into oak barrels until full ripeness.
But to make wines unforgettable and to make them the best expression of the territory, Poderi di San Pietro has the valuable collaboration of Donato Lanati, an oenologist of international fame.
Poderi di San Pietro, in addition to Vineyards, Winery and a Wine Shop, has also space for wine tastings and events: from the Wine Shop to the Caveau of Barriquerie to the Party Hall, all special places for unconventional events.
But, the current estate, wishing to develop the full potential of this extraordinary territory, wanted the company to be not only winemaking, but also a place of rest and leisure to appreciate the natural and cultural beauty of this area. To respond to this desire, the Trianon farmhouse inn and the La Palazzina Country Club, an oasis of peace surrounded by green vineyards of Poderi di San Pietro.
The Trianon farmhouse inn, a romantic petit chateau, of just 12 rooms, is the perfect place to relax, or for special events. La Palazzina Country Club is a pleasant place to spend the summer with large green areas, two swimming pools, a sandy beach, equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas, soccer fields, tennis courts, beach volleyball court.
Poderi San Pietro is a complete and attentive to the environment company. In effect, recently is has also invested in a photovoltaic system that allows substantial energy savings in all its activities of winemaking.
Growing vines and making wine is not a job like any other, but a form of respect, curiosity and enthusiasm for that wonder of creation that is vine. Only through a rigorous care, a continuous research and the desire to improve, one can sip a wine that is truly a gift of this land.
And this is the mission of Poderi di San Pietro.
In San Colombano, a cozy hamlet located between low Pavia and the flat of Lodi, where the plain turns into picturesque hills, the Panigada family, in addition to the historic store of salami, has been producing for three generations a wine that bears the curious name of "Banino". San Colombano owes its name to the Irish monk that Christianized it in the sixth century and who imported the cultivation of the vine. Its inhabitants are called "Banini", hence the origin of the name of the wine, an exclusive corporate brand.
The hills that rise from the surrounding plains, with an area of approximately 1,400 hectares, date back to the Miocene period, from the geological point of view, when an earthquake would have made them emerge from the sea. This is witnessed by the continuing discoveries of corals, fossils and shells on top of the hills. The Municipality, in effect, hosts a small paleontological museum.
Structure and composition of the soil vary sharply within a few meters, from white soils, rich in clay and limestone, to sandy and silty areas. This diversification of the soils is combined with sun exposure and curves of different level giving rise to a series of very interesting micro–zones and microclimates, which paired with a perfect exposure allow to harvest grapes of the highest quality. The management of the owned vineyards is very attentive to the environmental aspect. To prove this, grass and wildflowers fill vineyards, since no use of herbicides is made. Their mowing and subsequent decomposition nourish vines, not fertilizers of chemical origin.
In the growing season, the fungal protection is implemented using mainly sulfur and copper, without treatment with fungicides.
The harvest, totally manual, is carried out in boxes to protect the integrity and the fragrance of grapes ready to crushing.
The company produces several varieties of wine. In addition to making the great red wines, the company also produces excellent white wines, including frizzanti wines.
Nowadays, the ancient wine tradition is supported by the presence of the Voluntary Consortium of the San Colombano DOC Wines, founded 1987 when, in front of the notary Oscar Lagan, 18 manufacturers, owners of the most important companies in the hill towns, signed the constitution act to protect, promote and defend the production and marketing of wine with a designation of origin. It also performs promotional activities and of rigorous control, both administrative and chemical–organoleptic, of the wines of the producer members, rewarding them for quality assurance, after passing the exam of control, with the mark of the Consortium representing Saint Columban.
In recent years, the Consortium has carried out an important promotional activity. The presence of San Colombano DOC wine in local and regional events helped to raise awareness of a reality with good wine tourism potentials to develop and harmonize, and where the wine–making farms play an important role.
