The Oltrepò Pavese wine region is one of Italy’s most neglected – many wine connoisseurs don’t even know about it. Located only 50 miles south of Milan, the area produces huge quantities of the pinot nero grape and in the past it has always been seen more as a viticulture area (mostly for mass production of cask wines and grapes) than as a specific wine region with a defined identity. That’s also why it is often neglected by tourists and wine lovers in favor of more renowned locations such as Tuscany and Piedmont, and as a result, is quiet, beautiful and authentic. And all to discover.
Come with me to learn what’s going on in Oltrepò pavese, among native varieties to be revamped and young winemakers looking for a new identity, beyond the sparklings.
