Scanzo
Wine · PDO · 1 municipality
Confined entirely to the single Lombardy municipality of Scanzorosciate, the Scanzo DOCG is a highly specialized wine appellation represented by just 19 verified producers. This sweet red wine must be crafted exclusively from the Moscato di Scanzo grape, yielding a minimum total alcohol of 17.0% volume. What distinguishes Scanzo from its neighbours is its strict maturation requirement: while the wine must age for at least 24 months, the production rules completely prohibit the use of wood. This preservation of pure varietal character results in a ruby-red wine featuring a persistent aroma and a harmonious, sweet flavor with a light almond aftertaste.
