The winery covers 15 hectares of vineyards in the municipalities of Montecalvo Versiggia and Santa Maria della Versa. Winemakers for generations, in 2022 we decided to give birth to Cantina Tàia and start vinify our best grapes, those that are the strongest expression of our territory.

We strongly believe in doing but also in how to let others do. That's why all our vineyards are managed by people, men and women, who believe in the Cantina Tàia project and our desire to maximize the great potential of the area where they grow and ripen our grapes.

A precision viticulture, which changes based not only on the position of the vineyard and on the vine but also based on the oenological objective and the season, allows us to bring into the cellar the best grapes. Indeed, we like to say the most suitable grapes for our goals.

A dedicated and scrupulous enology guarantees us the exaltation of these grapes and guarantees us to bottle wines with character, identity, and a very precise style that goes hand in hand step with the Oltrepò: elegance, definition, extreme cleanliness and freshness.

We believe in an enology that respects the territory and the grape variety. An enology that can put in the glass the maximum expression of these hills and of all the people who work there.

This is how it all started: it was 1919, my great-grandfather Mario Odero returned to Italy from England and fell in love with this estate in Oltrepò Pavese. He bought Frecciarossa and decided to make quality wine, the kind you sell in bottles, a rarity at the time: and he did it.

My grandfather Giorgio took over from him. He went to France to learn from the best winemakers. When he came back, he put his knowledge to good use, setting Frecciarossa on the road to success: international awards, becoming suppliers to the Viceroy of the Indies and to the Royal Household. In 1933, the export licence No. 19 for trade in the United States.

And then it was my mother Margherita with her tenacity who lead us into the new millennium. She renewed the cellars, redesigned our vineyards: together we converted the estate to organic farming.

Today I have a first-rate team around me, and I am supported by the knowledge handed down from the generations before me. Those who lived among the vineyards and hills of this land for a hundred years. Land that I love and that has always been a home to me. And this is our story.

We are the biggest private company in Oltrepo’ Pavese,but we are a family- run company.

Our company was founded in 1870 .

Many years laters the two brothers Antonio and Gianfranco Giorgi increased the  productiond and they strongly beleive in high quality wines.Gianfranco was the enologist and Antonio was the the marketing expert.

Now Giorgi exports  to 59 countries around the world and has more then 160 representatives in Italy and it has won  the best  awards for its wines.

Despite the size of the company, we are still a family run company:

Antonio, the leader, oversees everything

His son Fabiano is the sales manager and directs the enologists

Antonio’s daughter,Eleonora is the acccounts manager

Ileana,Fabiano’s wife is is the export manager.

Montelio winery belongs to our family since 1803, in my childhood it was my holidays spot , out of Milan were I was born, studied and grew up. My sister and I were always involved in the winemaking family business so it was natural to move to the hills of Oltrepò Pavese , one of the most vocated winegrowing region in northern Italy, not so popular abroad . Montelio is located only few km far from Piedmont , in the past we were part of this region so that Oltrepò is also named “ancient Piedmont”. Our aim, togheter with our son’s already involved, is to follow the path tracked by our ancestors and implement a major renovation providing fine quality wines. Climate changing , trends and styles always evolving lead us to introduce an innovative approach to wine production based on our tipical grapes Riesling, Cortese, Pinot Noir, Barbera , Croatina and Merlot. Still, sparkling , new or aged wine .. daily thrilling challenge

Tenuta Mazzolino is a story of passion, dedication but above all of great love for the vineyard and its traditions in total respect of the surrounding nature. The story of the Mazzolino Estate began about forty years ago with Dr. Braggiotti Enrico where, on one of his trips, he was seduced by this area that everyone already called “the hill of Pinot Noir.”

Two of his great friends, Luigi Veronelli and Giacomo Bologna helped him to embark on this journey, they noticed from the very beginning the potential of the white, chalky lands surrounding the estate, land that the French had discovered had a vocation for Pinot Noir as early as the mid-19th century, when it was still “Old Piedmont.” 

In 2015, Francesca Seralvo granddaughter and current owner took the reins of the estate, beginning to write a new history of the estate by implementing it with all the teachings received and enriching it with innovation and creativity. 

A couple of trips to Bourgogne, a land of vignerons who have always lived off Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, fuel a passion that leads to the search for the pure translation into wine of a land that has always had a vocation. Helping out are the woods that lend their shade and a reservoir of biodiversity that is carefully cultivated and cared for by a team that now knows every meter of the vineyard.

The estate has long since moved towards organic farming, constant work and strict respect for the entire vineyard ecosystem are the main ingredients for making authentic wines with a strong identity.
