Terre del Colleoni
Wine · PDO · 71 municipalities
Established in 2011 across 71 municipalities in the Bergamo hills, stretching from the Isola Bergamasca to Lake Iseo, the Terre del Colleoni DOC is shaped by 16 verified producers. This Lombardy denomination distinguishes itself from its neighbors by expressly forbidding the regulatory use of the term "superiore" on any bottle. Instead, technical rigor defines its diverse portfolio. For its sparkling Metodo Classico spumante, the rules mandate a minimum of 15 months of aging on the lees, rising to 24 months for Millesimato. From northern slopes like Adrara San Martino, the appellation enforces strict technical parameters over marketing designations.
