Lamezia
Wine · PDO · 9 municipalities
Established in 1981, the Lamezia DOC in Calabria spans nine municipalities, including Curinga and Falerna, though the registry currently lists zero verified producers. This appellation distinguishes its base Rosso through a highly specific composition rule: the blend must conjointly feature at least 35 percent Gaglioppo and Magliocco, alongside a minimum of 25 percent Greco Nero and Marsigliana. The resulting dry, harmonic red wine must reach a minimum alcohol level of 12.0% vol from a maximum yield of 11.0 tonnes per hectare. This strict double-conjoint blending requirement defines Lamezia, setting its technical identity apart from other Calabrian wine denominations.
