Lino Maga is a legend of Italian winemaking, a man who has dedicated his life to defending the tradition and authenticity of wine. His company, located in the Oltrepò Pavese, has always followed an uncompromising production philosophy, rejecting commercial logic and certifications imposed by the market. His most famous wine, Barbacarlo, takes its name from a hill owned by the Maga family, a unique plot for its exposure and soil composition, which gives the wine an unmistakable personality. Obtained from a historic blend of Croatina, Uva Rara and Ughetta (Vespolina), it is a red with an intense character, often characterized by a light natural effervescence due to refermentation in the bottle. Montebuono, another historic label of the company, shares the same approach but stands out for its softer and less tannic profile.

Lino Maga has always believed in natural winemaking, without filtration or selected yeasts, allowing the wine to follow its course without invasive interventions. His wines, produced in limited quantities, are deeply linked to the climatic trend of the year and the character of the territory. For this reason, he has always refused the DOC denomination, choosing to label Barbacarlo as a simple "Table Wine", a decision that he transformed into a declaration of freedom and respect for his land. His legal battle for exclusive recognition of the Barbacarlo name has become a symbol of his determination and his attachment to tradition. Today his legacy is carried on by the family, keeping intact that production philosophy that has made his wines true cult objects for enthusiasts and collectors.
