Cantine Vitea: Oltrepò Wines Have Conquered the World of Golf, Too

Founded in 1895 in Montù Beccaria, in the heart of the Oltrepò Pavese region, Cantine Vitea is one of the historic wineries in the Italian wine industry. For five generations, the Faravelli family has carried on a winemaking tradition that combines artisanal expertise, innovation, and a commitment to sustainability through integrated and eco-friendly cultivation practices.

Today, the winery is also known internationally thanks to the “Golf and Wine 1895” brand, a project conceived by Antonio Faravelli with the goal of creating a connection between the world of golf and the finest Italian wines.
Among its most acclaimed and award-winning labels are the Metodo Classico Pinot Nero Pas Dosé, the Pinot Grigio Trame’s, and the Bonarda Gallesio, all ranked by Italy’s Finest Wines among the country’s finest wines.

The “Golf and Wine 1895” project was born from the convergence of a passion for golf and a desire to promote the Oltrepò Pavese region. Through sponsorships, tastings, and events organized at the most prestigious golf clubs, Cantine Vitea continues to spread the culture of Italian wine, garnering growing interest among wine enthusiasts and golfers alike.

Cantine Vitea’s wines are the result of a careful selection of grapes and a production process monitored with the utmost care at every stage, from must processing to bottling. This approach has enabled the company to earn significant international recognition, including numerous gold medals that attest to its exceptional quality. “This recognition makes me proud and drives me to do even better,” summarized Faravelli.
