Malvasia di Castelnuovo Don Bosco
Wine · PDO · 6 municipalities
Recognised in 1976, Piedmont's Malvasia di Castelnuovo Don Bosco DOC is produced across six municipalities, including Albugnano and Castelnuovo Don Bosco. This sweet, aromatic cherry-red wine is distinguished from neighboring appellations by its strict focus on primary grape characteristics, enforced by an absolute ban on quality qualifiers such as 'riserva', 'superiore', or 'selezionato'. The disciplinare mandates that at least 85% of the blend must consist of Malvasia di Schierano or Malvasia Nera Lunga, capped at a maximum yield of 11.0 tonnes per hectare. Whether still or naturally sparkling, the wine must capture the fragrant, fresh fruit aroma of the original grape.
