Provincia di Pavia

About the wine

The Provincia di Pavia IGT, established in 1995, covers a diverse viticultural area in the Lombardy region, primarily centered on the Oltrepò Pavese territory. The denomination is highly permissive, allowing for a wide range of wine styles including white, red, and rosato, as well as frizzante, passito, and novello types. The region is characterized by varied pedoclimatic conditions, ranging from alluvial deposits to marly-calcareous soils, which support both international and indigenous grape varieties. The disciplinare emphasizes traditional cultivation methods and specific yield limits that vary by varietal to ensure quality. Wines produced under this IGT are known for their balanced organoleptic profiles, reflecting the historical viticultural heritage of the Pavia province, which serves as a crossroads between Lombardy, Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna, and Liguria. The production zone is strictly defined by specific municipalities, focusing on hilly and pre-mountainous terrain to maintain high-quality standards.
