The Company:
Passion, Tradition, and Sustainability
The company is located on the hills of Oltrepò Pavese, between Casteggio and Montebello della Battaglia, in an area that has always been dedicated to viticulture.
Its origins date back to the early seventeenth century, when vineyards were already cultivated in these lands.
Here, where nature has created the perfect conditions for viticulture, we continue a centuries-old tradition with deep passion and respect for the environment that sorrounds us.
The Land
Aware of our role in the environment entrusted to us, our commitment is also out of respect for consumers and, with them, for the generations that will succeed us. The land is our most precious heritage, and its health is directly linked to the quality of our wines.
A SUSTAINABLE VINEYARD
Organic farming is an agricultural production method that does not use synthetic chemicals and seeks a balance between production itself and natural ecosystems. We have chosen organic cultivation for our vineyards as an act of responsibility in the face of growing environmental problems.
ORGANIC BY CHOICE
For La Costaiola, organic cultivation is not a market opportunity, but a conscious, heartfelt choice that has matured over time. It is a path we have decided to undertake with conviction, because we live immersed in our territory and want to preserve it in the best possible way.
Our Story: Ancient Roots and Family Passion
The Origins
La Costaiola, once known as "Costa d'Altare", was founded in 1938 by Luigi Carbone, who started modern wine production.
After the Second World War, leadership passed to his son, Cav. Carlo Carbone. An excellent winemaker and a deep connoisseur of Oltrepò Pavese wines, he achieved the first important recognitions, bringing La Costaiola wines to the attention of an ever-wider public.
Continuity
Michele Rossetti, a graduate of the Alba Enological School, carried on the family business with competence and dedication, backed by twenty years of experience and a deep vocation for the Metodo Classico.
Alongside him, his cousin Simona Scrivani, a key figure in the company's development, shared vision and commitment. Their synergy gave birth to the wines that still best express La Costaiola's identity and values today.
The Present
Today the company is led by Simona, with Letizia and Lucrezia, Michele's daughters, who passionately continue the path traced by previous generations.
Excellence
The constant pursuit of superior quality at every stage, from the vineyard to the bottle, guarantees wines of character and value.
Metodo Classico
Specialists in the production of sparkling wines using the Metodo Classico, with secondary fermentation in the bottle.
Evolution
We look to the future with innovation, while keeping our roots firmly planted and respecting tradition.
A project dedicated to the excellence of the Metodo Classico
Rossetti e Scrivani is a production line of 100% Pinot Noir sparkling wines, conceived in 2000 by the foresight of Michele Rossetti, among the first enologists in Oltrepò to dedicate himself to the production of the Metodo Classico. This project represents a natural evolution of the research work carried out by Michele Rossetti, focusing on oenological excellence and the enhancement of a noble grape variety, expressed according to the rigorous criteria of traditional sparkling wine production.
OENOLOGICAL EXCELLENCE
Constant pursuit of perfection through cutting-edge winemaking techniques and rigorous quality controls at every production stage.
100% PINOT NOIR
Complete enhancement of this noble grape variety, expressed in its purest form to highlight all its unique organoleptic characteristics.
PREMIUM POSITIONING
Exclusive packaging and superior quality define its positioning in the high-end segment of the Italian sparkling wine market.
We introduce Rossetti & Scrivani, a line of elegant sparkling wines that tell the story of the territory through at least 30 months of aging on the lees. The quality and exclusive packaging define its positioning in the high-end market segment.
Only Pinot Noir, only Metodo Classico
Oltrepò Pavese is the main Italian area for Pinot Noir cultivation, with over 3,000 hectares of vineyards. Considered one of the most suitable areas in the world for the production of quality sparkling wines, its tradition linked to this grape variety dates back to Roman times and has been consolidated since the mid-19th century.
3000 Hectares of Vineyards
Hectares of Pinot Noir in Oltrepò Pavese, the main Italian area for this grape variety
Centuries-old Tradition
Years of history in Pinot Noir cultivation, from Roman origins to today
Purity
Pure Pinot Noir to fully express the characteristics of the grape
Rossetti & Scrivani has chosen the best positions in the territory to enhance pure Pinot Noir, making it a symbol of its sparkling wine production and an ambassador for the quality of Oltrepò Pavese.
Metodo Classico, distinctive style
Distinction and specialization represent the main objectives on which Rossetti & Scrivani has focused its work, selecting wines capable of best expressing the company's personality, the nature of the cultivated land, and the winemaking techniques adopted. The long history of the Rossetti & Scrivani Metodo Classico originates in the vineyard. The Pinot Noir grapes, harvested exclusively by hand and placed in 20-kilogram crates, arrive at the cellar where they are inserted whole into the soft press, which ensures a delicate and progressive pressing of the grapes.
TIME AS AN INGREDIENT OF EXCELLENCE
The musts are strictly fractionated; only the first pressing becomes cuvée and undergoes alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks. After fermentation, the base wines are subjected to bâtonnage, which adds structure and aromatic richness. In late spring, the definitive cuvée is assembled by choosing the best batches.
After bottling, the bottles are stacked in the temperature-controlled cellar, stored for the time of secondary fermentation and subsequent maturation on the lees, from 24 to 60 months. When the bottles have reached perfect maturation, remuage and disgorgement complete the long preparation work. The elegance of Pinot Noir refined with the Metodo Classico makes each bottle a proposal of excellence according to selection and anticipation of the best result. Thus, after years of preparation, a Metodo Classico synonymous with elegance, class, and style is born.
