Eloro

Wine · PDO · 5 municipalities

Recognised since 1996, the Eloro DOC spans five municipalities in southeastern Sicily, including Pachino and Noto, under the stewardship of the Consorzio Valdinoto. What distinguishes this denomination from broader regional designations is its strict composition: the base red must derive at least 90% of its blend from Nero d'Avola, Frappato, and Pignatello, reaching a minimum alcohol content of 12.0% vol. Uniquely, wines carrying the Pachino subzone designation face rigorous aging rules, forbidding release before April 1st of the year following the harvest, while its Riserva tier demands 24 months of aging, including a mandatory six months in wood.
