Provincia di Pavia
Wine · PGI · 55 municipalities
Recognized since 2004, the Provincia di Pavia IGT spans 55 municipalities in Lombardy, starting alphabetically with Arena Po. This denomination distinguishes itself from neighboring appellations through precise vinification boundaries: while it permits a broad range of grapes, it restricts its sweet passito style, requiring a minimum of 15% total alcohol, strictly to Croatina, Malvasia, Moscato, and Riesling. Furthermore, the IGT uniquely regulates its Moscato wines with a low-pressure sparkling limit, restricting carbon dioxide overpressure to a maximum of 1.8 bar at 20°C. Maximum yields are strictly tiered, ranging from 17 tons per hectare for Nebbiolo to 24 tons per hectare for Barbera.
