Cordero San Giorgio

2021 Pinot Nero dell’Oltrepò Pavese Riserva DOC V18

Coming from a cooler, forest-protected site with north-east exposure, V18 is the more delicate side of the Cordero Pinots. Where SG ’67 leans deeper and more savoury, V18 moves with a softer, silkier touch, all red berries, violet, jasmine, spice, and that beautifully airy perfume. The tannins are beautifully woven, the acidity keeps everything humming, and it moves with a kind of effortless poise that feels both deeply Italian and unmistakably Pinot.

“Meaty and juicy, this red has aromas of grilled herbs, orange rind, earth and spices. It’s medium-bodied with nicely integrated tannins and excellent flavor concentration. Drink now or hold”. -92 pts, Claire Nesbitt, James Suckling (Feb 2026)

Region:  Oltrepò Pavese, Lombardia

Appellation:  Pinot Nero dell’Oltrepò Pavese Riserva DOC

ABV:  14.0%

Vineyard:  Fruit comes from a vineyard planted in 1996, with east to northeast exposure and sandy-loam soils in Oltrepò Pavese. The grapes are hand-harvested in late August or early September.

Cellar: Grapes are destemmed without pressing to preserve the whole berries, followed by a cold pre-fermentation maceration. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel with one short pump-over each day. After racking, the wine completes MLC in barriques, then ages for approximately nine months in French oak barriques of various origins, nine months in large barrels, and at least eighteen months in bottle before release.

CSPC:  128552
