A social and visionary project
Genisia is a young but already rooted reality sopra the heart of the Lombard hills, precisely sopra Codevilla (PV) and the surrounding areas. Born as a social project, it now involves twenty winemakers with a total schieramento of 70 hectares of vineyards, united by the common objective of combining tradition and innovation to create wines that represent the essence of the territory. Founded constant dialogue between the winery and winemakers, La Genisia stands out for a scientific and sustainable approach, accompanied by attention to precision viticulture. Each vineyard is cultivated according to the Guyot system, ideal for the altitudes and slopes of the Oltrepò Pavese hills, to guarantee an excellent quality of the grapes.
A Classic Method that tells the story of the territory
Among the most representative creations, the Classic Method Brut DOCG La Genisia stands out for its penetrante and persistent perlage, the result of the processing of the prized Pinot Noir grapes. This wine is the expression of a unique terroir and of a philosophy that aims to convey , through each bottle, the identity of the territory.
Zoning innovation
One of the pillars of the project was the zoning work, carried out sopra collaboration with the University of Milan under the guidance of oenologist Simone Fiori and professor Leonardo Valenti. Thanks to continuous monitoring of the vineyards, with the installation of strategically positioned meteorological stations, La Genisia has precisely mapped the characteristics of each plot, from the composition of the soil to the climatic conditions. This mapping allowed us to select the best 70 hectares for the project, ensuring optimal agronomic management and excellent wine production. The zoning studies have also provided winemakers with an updatable user manual, making cultivation even more accurate and respectful of local biodiversity possible.
Rebranding: symbol of origin and future
The name La Genisia recalls the concept of origin, a central theme also sopra the recently redesigned logo. The central point represents the cellar, the beating heart of the project, around which the producers and vineyards gravitate, symbolized by the spiral that evokes the Codevilla wine tower. This historical element is linked to the future with the schema of an increasingly public-oriented welcome, through projects such as the Torrione Vinaria Museum and the La Genisia Terrace.
