Cordero San Giorgio is a new beginning in Oltrépo-Pavese for three siblings who grew up surrounded by their family’s vines at the legendary Vietti Estate in Castiglione Falletto in Barolo. The siblings Francesco, Lorenzo, and Caterina Cordero, are grandchildren of Luciana Vietti & Alfredo Currado, one of the pioneers of the first Barolo crus and considered the “father of Arneis.” Their father is Mario Cordero, Alfredo and Luciana’s son-in-law, who was the company’s co-owner from the beginning of the ‘80s until 2016 when it was sold.

The Oltrepò Pavese is a hilly triangle of land in Lombardy, embraced by Piedmont, Liguria, and Emilia-Romagna. A territory dedicated to the cultivation of vines and the culture of wine for centuries: a land of both cultural and gastronomic encounter and exchange. Cordero San Giorgio is in the town of Santa Giuletta, and focuses on working with Pinot Nero, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay.

Partu Riserva comes from Pinot Noir plots are harvested and vinified separately in order to enhance the various terroirs and the characteristics of the individual vintage. For this reason, multiple winemaking techniques are employed, including the use of the whole bunch or de-stemming alone, in order to seek the best expression of each plot. A cold pre-fermentation maceration is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, during which a short pumping over is performed each day. When fermentation is complete, we proceed with racking and malolactic fermentation in barriques.

After approximately twelve months in barriques, only the best plots are selected and combined. Bottling is followed by further bottle aging for approximately one year.

Intense and lively bright ruby red with garnet hues. The nose is broad with notes of violet, small red fruits and spices. In the mouth, it’s full-bodied, slightly tannic and balanced with a pleasant mineral finish.

Cordero San Giorgio is located in Santa Giuletta, a village sitting on the first hilly belt of the territory, an area made up of valleys that fan out over the Po Valley with steep slopes and thick ridges. The composition of the soil makes their site particularly suitable for the production of Pinot Nero, making it possible to obtain wines with maximum varietal expression and a strong territorial identity.
