Cordero San Giorgio brings a fresh, elegant, and expressive style to Oltrepò wines while honoring their Piedmontese roots.

Cordero San Giorgio SG ’67 Pinot Nero 2020 is a refined and expressive red wine crafted from vines planted in 1967 on clay-calcareous soils in Santa Giuletta, Oltrepò Pavese. Made entirely from Pinot Nero, the wine is vinified with partial whole-cluster fermentation and aged in French oak barriques followed by time in large casks and bottle. It reveals complex aromas of red and black cherries, herbs, spice, and subtle notes of cocoa and roasted coffee. On the palate, it offers vibrant red fruit, spice, and balsamic nuances with fine tannins and a persistent finish. Elegant, structured, and age-worthy, this wine is a standout expression of Lombardy Pinot Noir.
