A partner winery makes this still white for the Villa Oppi label from Pinot Nero, a black grape grown at Montù Beccaria in the Oltrepò Pavese, near Pavia. The grapes are pressed gently and the juice ferments off the skins, so the wine stays white.

The disciplinare, the place, the label
01
DOC, DOCG, IGT: what the badges mean
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Oltrepò Pavese is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
