Rhine Riesling in Oltrepò Pavese

Defilippi – I Gessi Winery is nestled in the picturesque hills of Oltrepò Pavese, located between Casteggio and Montalto Pavese, near the serene Rile San Zeno and Verzate streams. The unique soil and favorable microclimate of this region create ideal conditions for producing exceptional white wines, particularly Rhine Riesling.

Enjoy a Unique Vermouth as an Aperitif

Founded in 1907, Defilippi – I Gessi has evolved significantly since 2000. The winery's owner has expanded operations by acquiring additional land and introducing high-quality white Vermouth in 2016, perfect for enjoying as an aperitif. The region benefits from mild summer breezes and moderate winters, with minimal rainfall, making it suitable for cultivating a variety of grapes. Defilippi – I Gessi proudly grows premium Pinot Noir, Riesling Renano, and Pinot Grigio, alongside fruity Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Croatina. In the cellar, Emilio and Fabbio craft a diverse selection of wines, including red, white, sparkling, rosé, and dessert wines.

Relax in the Winery's Charming Accommodations

The winery also features a cozy resort offering stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside. Guests can enjoy the tranquility of the hills and the soothing sounds of nature. Take leisurely walks through the vineyard rows or embark on scenic cycling tours. The agritourism facility includes three well-appointed apartments, accommodating up to six guests, each equipped with a living room, kitchen, private bathroom, and modern amenities such as a TV, fridge, and private parking.

Cellar managed with passion and great competence. The choice of wines is very valid referring to the territory; I would like to point out the Bonarda made from dried grapes and their Riesling DOC. Fabbio always available: a reference for the area.

Excellent winery, excellent farmhouse. A winery has also opened along the state road that leads to Salice. Tastings and aperitifs can be booked. Wide choice of wines, grappas and a truly stellar Vermouth. Excellent experience and I recommend it.

Truly super welcome! Kind, helpful, prepared, I must say that our experience was positive. We tasted numerous labels from the production, paired with typical products of the area, cured meats and cheeses. The environment is really warm and welcoming and the staff is very ready to answer any questions, very thorough. Prices are normal and I dare say below the average of the surrounding, perhaps more famous, wineries. The quality of the products is high and you can see all the passion involved. Compliments
