About Pinot Nero dell'Oltrepò Pavese DOC

Where it grows

In the defined Oltrepò Pavese area of Pavia province, south of the Po.

Pinot Nero is the Italian name for Pinot Noir. This DOC identifies a dry red expression, distinct from the separate Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico DOCG and other local wines made by pressing black grapes for white juice. Vineyard conditions and ageing choices shape its balance of red fruit, freshness and tannin. A riserva designation offers another way to explore the denomination without assuming that every bottle has the same oak influence or weight.
