BEYOND WINE TOURS

Scuropasso: nero and noir
The place of origin of Pinot Nero in Italy, Scuropasso Valley remains a point of reference for Oltrepò Pavese and its wine industry.
The peaks reach a height of up to 500m, and the valley is protected, cold and noble.

Scuropasso Valley has always been a major thoroughfare for the Salt Roads, and a link to the Upper Oltrepò, among woods and fells. In 1865 the Count of Rocca de’ Giorgi made wine from this noble grape variety for the first time in Italy, and his choice of where to do so was by no means accidental.

Indeed, thanks to its unique terroir, which is one of the Oltrepò Pavese’s distinguishing features in terms of variety, mixed clay and limestone soils with large white marlstone sediments lead to notes of minerality, verticality and acidity.
