Once upon a time, in 1850, Count Augusto Giorgi di Vistarino was the first person to plant Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) in the Oltrepò, by importing the shoots directly from France and were the first family to produce it there.
Costa del Nero is the Pinot Nero of Oltrepò Pavese DOC Conte Vistarino, whose name comes from the hill of the same name dedicated to the black grapes of the Rocca dè Giorgi estate.
