Allerona
Wine · PGI · 3 municipalities
Established in 1999 across just three Umbrian municipalities—Allerona, Castel Giorgio, and Castel Viscardo—the Allerona IGT remains an inactive designation with zero currently verified producers. Despite this dormancy, its technical specifications demand highly distinct vinification methods. Notably, unlike standard pink wines, any rosato under this name must be vinified entirely in bianco with no skin contact whatsoever. Additionally, while standard styles allow a high yield of 17 tonnes per hectare with an 80% juice extraction rate, the dried-grape passito styles restrict liquid yield to just 45% to achieve their mandatory minimum total alcohol of 15.00% by volume.
