Cordero San Giorgio

Lombardia

Santa Giulietta

The Cordero name is a famous one in the Langhe, but it is in Oltrepó Pavese that siblings Francesco, Lorenzo, and Caterina, with the help of their father, Mario, set their sights on a new challenge. The acquisition of Tenuta San Giorgio in Santa Giuletta in 2019 saw them embark on a mission to further elevate the reputation of the region, with a primary focus on Pinot Nero (Noir).

The historic estate, with its 16^th century crenelated tower and historic cellars, boasts 22 hectares of vines, with about 20 hectares being old vines. Situated between the Apennines and the Po River, it’s a beautiful part of the world, surrounded by ancient oak and cherry forests, which the family assiduously maintain and preserve.

The farming is carried out with a sustainable mindset and a focus on low environmental impact. Organic practices employed from the beginning have resulted in certification in 2022. The winemaking has a modern sensibility to preservation of fruit purity but the winemaking hand is a light one, allowing place and variety to shine.
