The Pinot Noir by Giorgi Gran Cuvée Storica 1870 is typical of the Oltrepò Pavese region in Lombardy. Pinot Noir vines are characteristic of a geographical area with a strong winemaking vocation. A sparkling wine with DOCG designation, it is produced according to the Classic Method with secondary fermentation in the bottle for 36 months. The production area is located in an area characterized by rolling hills with low water retention, ideal for growing vines. The clayey-calcareous soil and the altitude no higher than 400 meters allow the grapes to acquire all the components that will characterize the aromas and scents of the future wine. The climate of the Oltrepò Pavese is typically continental, influenced by the cold coming from the Ligurian Apennines, favoring the ripening of grapes very suitable for the production of high-quality sparkling wines.
