Tenuta Fornace is a producer in Oltrepò Pavese & Colli Tortonesi, Italy, presented in Biodyna’s Green Guide as a reference for thoughtful farming and wines with a clear sense of place.
Organic winery of the Rossi family, vines since 1823, across Oltrepò Pavese and Colli Tortonesi. Native grapes, spontaneous ferments.
The project is defined by its practices: Organic, Biodynamic, Natural. Farming and cellar work are kept as close to the vineyard as possible, with an emphasis on soil life, manual care, and wines that taste of their origin rather than of the cellar.
Like the longer portraits already published on The Green Guide, this profile is meant to be read as a full introduction — who they are, how they farm, and what is in the glass — not as a short product blurb.
The wines
The range is built to show the estate rather than a single cuvée. Expect wines that are drinkable young, marked by fruit, energy and texture, and shaped by the farming described above.
Whites from Riesling and Timorasso, some skin-contact.
Orange wines: dried apricot, tea, spice. Reds from Croatina, Barbera, Pinot Nero. Rosés and pét-nats. Unfiltered.
Practices: Organic, Biodynamic, Natural
Origin: Oltrepò Pavese & Colli Tortonesi, Italy
