Oltrepò Pavese Pinot grigio
Wine · PDO · 41 municipalities
Established as an autonomous DOC in 2010 after departing from its 1970 classification as a mere sub-type of the broader Oltrepò Pavese DOC, this specialized denomination spans 41 municipalities in Lombardy, including Canneto Pavese. To distinguish itself from generic regional blends, the production rule mandates a minimum of 85% Pinot grigio grapes for both its still and frizzante styles. Cultivated to a maximum yield of 15.0 t/ha, the resulting wines must achieve a minimum alcohol content of 10.5% vol. This strict control ensures that the straw-yellow, sometimes slightly copper-hued wines maintain their characteristic fresh, sapid, and fruity profile.
