Wines Reflecting the Richness of Soil in Pavese Region

Set in the picturesque countryside of Rocca de’ Giorgi, the Conte Vistarino estate spans an impressive 826 hectares in the Oltrepò Pavese area of Lombardy, just an hour's drive from Milan. The Vistarino family is dedicated to crafting exceptional Pinot Noir that showcases the unique characteristics of the local soil and terroir, utilizing modern winemaking techniques.

Dedication and Passion at Conte Vistarino Winery

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Earl Carlo Giorgi di Vistarino introduced Pinot Noir vines from Bourgogne to the estate. Today, Ottavia Giorgi di Vistarino, the current owner, continues this legacy with a commitment to producing high-quality red, white, rosé, dessert, and sparkling wines. The family cultivates grapes across 180 hectares, with 140 hectares dedicated to Pinot Noir, all under the official Albo Della DOC Oltrepò Pavese designation. In addition to Pinot Noir, the estate grows a variety of other grapes, including Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, and Sangue di Giuda. The winery also maintains 200 hectares of woodland and 120 hectares of arable land for fruits and vegetables.

The villa's interior reflects the rich history of the region and the winemaking family. Visitors can enjoy a gaming room and a dedicated wine tasting room, making it a perfect spot for wine enthusiasts to learn more about the estate's offerings.

It is like entering a history book. The centuries have left their mark on the beautiful 18th/19th century villa, the English garden, the farmhouses inhabited by tenant farmers, the Pinot Noir production that has its origins here in Oltrepò Pavese. The latest generation cellar is housed in a building dating back to 1903, built for a different purpose. The adaptation of new technologies to a pre-existing container makes it unique, evocative, very beautiful and with a strong personality, just like the wines produced here, the pride of the entire territory.
