Pinot Nero viticulture and regional production

Overview

Pinot Nero has emerged as a significant grape variety characterized by its sensitivity to climate, soil, and cellar techniques. As a ‘wine of place,’ its profile shifts from fine and fragrant in cooler regions to riper and rounder in warmer areas. While Burgundy, France, remains the primary reference point for the variety, the Oltrepò Pavese region in Italy has become a major hub, accounting for approximately 70% of Italy’s national production.

To mark its status as the most planted variety in Oltrepò Pavese, the Consorzio Vini Oltrepò Pavese is organizing the ‘Oltrepò Terra di Pinot Nero’ event in Voghera on September 7, alongside the ‘Oltregusto’ event on September 8. The program features technical masterclasses on viticultural mapping and presentations of over 100 labels from 32 wineries.
