Description
A still red from Lombardy, 13.5% ABV, produced by Giorgi. A blend of 45% Barbera, 45% Pinot Noir, and 10% Syrah. 0.75L bottle. A wine born from the passion of the Giorgi family, who have been producing quality wines in the Oltrepò Pavese area since 1875. The grapes are harvested in crates at the end of September. Vinification involves destemming and crushing, the must ferments in stainless steel fermenters with automatic pumping over, where maceration on the skins takes place for 12-4 days at a temperature of 26-28°C. Aged in barriques for approximately 6 months and further bottled for another 6 months. Great complexity with distinct notes of ripe red fruit and spicy nuances. Ruby red in color. Excellent balance, velvety, with good persistence and structure, and a soft, evolved tannic structure.

The Giorgi family has always firmly focused on the entire production chain: from the grape to the bottle, laying the foundations from the beginning to realise their grand project of creating a significant wine company. This project became a reality as early as 1970, when the brothers, Gianfranco and Antonio, built a second winery, modern and technologically very advanced, in Canneto Pavese.
With the construction of the third winery in Camponoce, Giorgi finally achieved national consecration in the 1980s, with a sales network of 80 representatives and a presence in the best restaurants and wine shops nationwide.
Today Giorgi Vini exports to 59 countries worldwide, has more than 160 agents in Italy, and has won the most important international and national awards (Three Glasses by Gambero Rosso and Five Bunches sommelier). In addition, Giorgi proudly represents Oltrepò Pavese in Italy and the world. Read more
