Colli di Parma

Wine · PDO · 15 municipalities

Recognized since 1996, the Colli di Parma PDO spans 15 municipalities in Emilia-Romagna, including Langhirano and Felino, where 20 verified producers manage its hilly vineyards. Unlike neighboring appellations that favor uniform blends, this denomination is distinguished by its vast spectrum of over a dozen specific varietal tipologie. Among these, the local Spumante stands out for its rigorous production rules, demanding natural bottle refermentation with at least 12 months resting on the lees and an 18-month overall elaboration process. Meanwhile, the standard Rosso blend relies on a firm backbone of at least 60% Barbera combined with Croatina or Bonarda.
