The Provincia di Pavia IGT covers a wide range of wines produced from grapes grown in the province of Pavia in north central Lombardy. In most Italian regions, the IGT designation was created as a catch all, for wines that did not fall under the approved DOP regulations. However, since there is very little wine produced in the province of Pavia, this IGT designation is rarely seen. When it is used, it can encompass, dry whites, dry reds, passito and sparkling wines. Varieties most commonly found in Pavia are Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. (Wine/Appellations)
