Colli di Scandiano e di Canossa
Wine · PDO · 15 municipalities
Recognised since 2004, the Colli di Scandiano e di Canossa DOC spans 15 municipalities, including Albinea and Canossa, where 21 verified producers manage its highly fragmented portfolio of around 20 distinct wine styles. Evolving from its historic core as a white wine denomination, this zone sets itself apart from neighbouring Emilia-Romagna appellations through strict physical limits: its Lambrusco-named wines must adhere to specific maximum colour-intensity thresholds, losing the right to the denomination if they run too dark. For the representative white style, yields are capped at 16.0 tonnes per hectare, yielding a straw-yellow wine with at least 10.5% minimum alcohol volume.
