Wine · PDO · 1 municipality
Recognised since 1973, the Siracusa DOC is a localized Sicilian wine denomination restricted to its namesake municipality of Siracusa. While the general Rosso blend requires a minimum of 65% Nero d'Avola, the historical core of this appellation is centered on Moscato. This aromatic grape is crafted into dry, spumante, and dried-grape Passito styles, with classic Moscato limited to a yield of 8 tons per hectare. Distinctively, the production rules mandate the vintage year on the label for every bottle across all types, even though registry data currently lists zero verified active producers.
