Oltrepò Pavese Pinot grigio

About the wine

The Oltrepò Pavese Pinot Grigio DOC represents a significant expression of this versatile variety in the Lombardy region. The appellation covers both still and frizzante (semi-sparkling) styles, both characterized by a straw-yellow hue that can occasionally lean toward a light copper tone. These wines are defined by their fresh, sapid, and pleasant profile, offering a distinctively fruity bouquet. The production is rooted in the hilly landscapes of the Oltrepò Pavese, where the interplay of varied soil compositions—ranging from calcareous-clay to marl—and favorable microclimates allows the Pinot Grigio to retain its essential acidity and aromatic clarity. The regulations emphasize traditional viticultural practices, ensuring the wine remains a faithful reflection of its terroir, avoiding excessive manipulation to preserve its characteristic freshness and drinkability.

Production & aging

The production zone is located in the hilly Oltrepò Pavese area in the province of Pavia. It encompasses the entirety of 28 communes, including Santa Maria della Versa, Montù Beccaria, and Canneto Pavese, and portions of 15 additional communes such as Casteggio, Broni, and Stradella. The area is defined by its pre-Apennine orography, characterized by valleys running south-to-north and diverse soil types including marls, sandstones, and limestones.
