Lago di Corbara
Wine · PDO · 2 municipalities
Established in 1999, the Lago di Corbara DOC regulates wine production within just two Umbrian municipalities: Baschi and Orvieto. While adjacent appellations often focus on single local varietals, this PDO distinguishes itself through highly specific blending and technical parameters. Its white wines mandate a combined minimum of 60% Grechetto and Sauvignon, while the base Rosso blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Nero, and Sangiovese under a strict yield limit of 9.0 tonnes per hectare. For the sweet Passito Riserva, the disciplinare enforces rigorous aging protocols, requiring at least two years of maturation, including a phase in wooden vessels restricted to a maximum capacity of 225 liters.
