Francesco Quaquarini

Oltrepò Pavese sparkling and red wines from Lombardia's Alpine foothills.

Francesco Quaquarini operates in Oltrepò Pavese, the historic wine region of Lombardia in Northern Italy where Alpine influence and continental climate shape distinctive red and sparkling wines. The winery produces Classese Pinot Nero Brut, a traditional-method sparkling wine built on Pinot Nero's structure and precision. Vigna Poggio Anna Barbera showcases the region's signature dark-skinned variety—Barbera—known for its acidity and dark fruit character. The Oltrepo Pavese Bonarda, made from the local Bonarda grape, rounds out a portfolio rooted in regional expression. Decanter and Wine Spectator have assessed the winery's output, reflecting the quality benchmarks of Oltrepò Pavese's established wine culture.
