Nardò
Wine · PDO · 2 municipalities
Recognised since 1996 in Puglia, the Nardò DOC spans just two municipalities: Nardò and Porto Cesareo. While Negroamaro must comprise at least 80% of the blend, the appellation's highly specific vinification rules set it apart from neighboring wine regions. Specifically, Nardò imposes a tight 45% cap on grape-to-wine yield for its coral-pink rosato, compared to 70% for the rosso. Furthermore, to protect quality, the disciplinare strictly forbids reusing the leftover pomace from rosato production to make the rosso wine. At consumption, these dry and harmonious red wines must reach a minimum alcohol level of 11.5% vol.
