Elivià - Pinot Grigio

This is Pinot Grigio—but read it as Pinot Gris.

The same noble clone grown in Alsace and known as Grauburgunder in Germany. Not the simple version you might expect, but the grape in its fullest expression. Grown at 400 meters in one of Oltrepò Pavese's best crus, where warm valley air meets cool winds from the Apennines, Elivià shows what this variety can truly do: depth, character, and serious structure. This is a real gastronomic wine.

What makes it special?

Deep straw-yellow with a hint of copper—the color alone tells you this is different. The nose opens with yellow stone fruit, a touch of exotic notes, and white flowers. On the palate, it's full and rich, but lifted by bright acidity that keeps everything fresh and alive. There's weight here, but also balance. It's generous without being heavy.

What to pair it with:

• Grilled fish or shellfish
• Cured meats like prosciutto or salami
• Aged cheeses—think comté or aged gouda
• Risotto or creamy pasta dishes
• It shines with pumpkin recipes

It is the wine that Pierluigi chooses when food pairing needs the structure of a red, but he feels like drinking white.

Serve at 10–13°C | 13.5% alcohol

Le Fiole is the story of two sisters, Silvia and Elisa, who chose to reconnect with their roots in Oltrepò Pavese. Their grandfather Guglielmo and father Enzo both dedicated their lives to the vines, growing grapes with love and patience on the rolling hills of Montalto Pavese.

The spark came one summer day in 2016, when Silvia and Elisa discovered an old chest in their grandfather’s farmhouse. Inside were bottles of wine carefully kept from the years of their births — a sign of the deep bond between family, land, and wine. From that moment, they knew they wanted to continue this tradition in their own way.

Today, they call themselves the female side of Oltrepò Pavese. With their Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio, they aim to elevate local grapes with elegance and personality, blending family heritage with a modern vision. Every bottle of Le Fiole is both a tribute to their roots and an invitation to experience the unique character of Oltrepò Pavese.

Oltrepò Pavese is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. Tucked away in the hills south of Milan, it’s a landscape of rolling vineyards, tiny villages, and winding valleys. This is Pinot Noir country — in fact, the area sits on the same latitude as Burgundy and Oregon, two of the world’s most famous Pinot regions.

Here, the days are warm, the nights are cool, and the soils are a mix of limestone and clay. That combination gives the wines freshness, elegance, and depth — exactly what Pinot Noir needs to shine. It’s no wonder Oltrepò is often called the “Burgundy of Italy.”

Despite its history and potential, the region is still under the radar. And that’s the beauty of it: you’ll find authentic wines full of character, without the hype. A place where Pinot Noir finds a true Italian voice.
