San Severo
Wine · PDO · 9 municipalities
Recognised since 1973, the San Severo DOC distinguishes its red wines by requiring a minimum of 70% Montepulciano, capping the base Rosso yield at 16.0 tonnes per hectare. Geographically covering nine municipalities in Puglia, including Apricena and Lesina, the appellation also dictates a precise white blend comprising 40% to 60% Bombino Bianco and 40% to 60% Trebbiano Bianco. Furthermore, while the appellation allows for sparkling variations, any Spumante elaboration via natural refermentation must occur exclusively within the province of Foggia, ensuring that the secondary fermentation process remains tied strictly to the local territory.
