Colline Saluzzesi
Wine · PDO · 13 municipalities
Recognised since 2004 across 13 Piedmontese municipalities, including Brondello and Costigliole Saluzzo, the Colline Saluzzesi DOC enforces highly specific production rules. Uniquely, the use of 'Riserva' and similar qualifications is explicitly forbidden on all labels. Additionally, while mandatory vintage labeling applies to almost all styles—including the base red, which requires a minimum of 60% Barbera, Chatus, Nebbiolo, or Pelaverga—the Quagliano spumante is the sole exception exempt from this vintage-declaration requirement. This base red must also adhere to a maximum yield of 10.0 tonnes per hectare and a minimum alcohol content of 11.5% vol at consumption.
