| Story | Pinot noir has a very long tradition in Oltrepò Pavese, having been imported from France around 1850. Today, with its 3,000 hectares of pinot noir, Oltrepò Pavese is the leading Italian producer of this noble grape variety. In Oltrepò Pavese, both clones suitable for white and red vinification are cultivated. The upper Versa Valley has the optimal pedoclimatic characteristics for growing pinot noir for sparkling wine bases, with altitudes of up to 550 m above sea level. |
