Orta Nova
Wine · PDO · 6 municipalities
Established in 1996 in Puglia, the Orta Nova DOC spans six municipalities including Ascoli Satriano and Orta Nova itself, though it currently records zero verified producers. This denomination distinguishes itself through a specific varietal blueprint where Sangiovese must comprise at least 60% of the blend, rounded out by local Uva di Troia, Montepulciano, Lambrusco Maestri, and Trebbiano Toscano. Furthermore, its rosato version is defined by the traditional 'lacrima' bleeding technique (salasso), which restricts the maximum grape-to-wine yield to 65%—tighter than the 70% permitted for the red. This vinification process requires a minimum alcohol content of 11.5% volume for the pink wine.
