Conte Vistarino

The history of the Conte Vistarino winery dates back to 1850, when Count Augusto Giorgi of Vistarino was the first to plant Pinot Noir in Oltrepò, importing the cuttings directly from France and thus giving rise to the great sparkling tradition of Oltrepò Pavese. Witnessing this story is Villa Fornace, built in 1700, it is a unique architectural example in the area for the richness of the interiors and the magnificent park that surrounds it, designed by Achille Majnoni architect of the King of Italy Umberto I. The current generation, represented by Ottavia Giorgi di Vistarino, has brought technology to the service of quality both in the vineyard and with the new cellar. The latter, completely renovated in 2017 by recovering an existing building, is characterized by the perfect balance between functionality, design and elegance thanks to the use of steel, large windows and wood from French barriques. s The Conte Vistarino estate still extends over 826 hectares, of which 102 are vineyards (65 dedicated exclusively to Pinot Noir) and can be visited in all seasons.
