Colline Novaresi
Wine · PDO · 25 municipalities
Established in 1996 across 25 Piedmont municipalities including Barengo, the Colline Novaresi DOC distinguishes itself through highly specific labeling rules: it strictly forbids traditional quality designations such as "riserva", "superiore", or "vecchio", while making the vintage year mandatory on every bottle. The denomination covers diverse styles, from a 100% Erbaluce white to red blends requiring a minimum of 50% Nebbiolo (locally Spanna). For the base rosso, production rules enforce a maximum yield of 10.0 tonnes per hectare and a minimum alcohol content of 11.0% by volume, yielding a red with an intense color and a harmonious, full flavor.
