Colli Martani
Wine · PDO · 13 municipalities
Established in 1996 across thirteen Umbrian municipalities like Cannara and Bettona, the Colli Martani denomination distinguishes itself through highly specific sub-type regulations rather than a singular style. While the standard red blend relies on at least 50% Sangiovese, the denomination's most unique expression is its Vernaccia sub-type. When sourced from Cannara, this rare passito-style wine must adhere to a strict yield limit of just 6 tons per hectare and a grape-to-wine conversion capped at 40%. The resulting naturally dried grapes produce a concentrated wine achieving at least 17% potential alcohol, which must be bottled exclusively in sizes between 0.375 and 0.75 liters.
