Varietal

Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Lombardy

The beautiful north westerly wine region of Lombardy in Italy is home to many of the country's most characterful and well respected wines, most of which are grown on the shores of the stunning Lake Garda. The lake itself plays a vitally important part of the region's viticulture, as the climate around the river is cooler than in surrounding areas, thus tempering the heat of the vineyards and allowing the vines which grow there to ripen more slowly. For centuries, Lombardy wines have been considered amongst the finest in Italy, and today, the wine industry of the region is doing very well indeed. With wineries in Lombardy utilizing a successful blend of traditional and modern techniques, they are continually producing wines which express the excellence of the terroir the vines are grown on, and which contain fascinating and unique flavors and aromas.

WE 93pts

Wine Enthusiast

Planted in 1967, this old-vine Pinot Noir shows its class from the first drop with aromas of macerated cherries, black tea, dried rose and a turned earth with hints of chalk. Medium in body, the wine's elegance and texture steal the show. Flavors of mixed berries, spice and earth play their part but then draw it to the essence of the wine, which captivates more and more as the wine develops. Drink now–2035.

Winery Notes

Rated 93 - SG ’67 refers to San Giorgio and the year this vineyard – the winery’s oldest – was planted. Bright, medium intense ruby red; aromas of bing cherry, bacon fat and crushed rose petals. Medium-full, with impressive concentration, very good acidity, well-integrated oak, excellent persistence and a rich finish with notes of mint and black spice. Beautiful varietal purity and complexity; excellent harmony. Enjoy tonight or over the next 6-8 years, perhaps longer. - Forbes

James Suckling

Aromas of baked cherry, black cherry, strawberry and rooibos. Medium-bodied with chewy tannins. Steady intensity with a solid core of red fruit, accented by note of rose and rosemary. Needs more time to come together. Best after 2024.

WA 90pts

Wine Advocate

There is good concentration and depth in the Cordero San Giorgio 2019 Oltrepò Pavese Riserva Pinot Nero SG'67, my favorite wine in this series of reds. This sample shows more all-around fruit and intensity with ripe cherry, lavender and wild plum. You could also argue that there is less varietal character in this expression, given its ongoing richness and ripeness.

WS 90pts

Wine Spectator

A generous profile of baked black cherry, olive, Mediterranean herbs and spice box is framed by light, fine tannins. This is supple and medium-bodied, with a touch of tar-tinged minerality emerging on the subtle finish. Drink now through 2027. 482 cases made, 70 cases imported.
