S. Anna di Isola Capo Rizzuto
Wine · PDO · 3 municipalities
Recognised in 1981, the Calabrian denomination of S. Anna di Isola Capo Rizzuto spans a production zone limited to three municipalities: Crotone, Cutro, and Isola di Capo Rizzuto. This lesser-known DOC is unique among its regional peers because its Rosso and Rosato wines share identical production rules: both must have a minimum alcohol content of 12.0% vol, a maximum yield of 12.0 tonnes per hectare, and the exact same grape composition. This blend mandates a minimum of 40% Gaglioppo, while allowing white varieties like Greco Bianco to comprise up to 35% of the total blend, differing only in color and sensory descriptors.
