Wine · PDO · 1 municipality
Unlike broader Sicilian designations, the Salaparuta DOC, recognized since 2009, restricts its production zone entirely to its namesake municipality of Salaparuta. The appellation mandates precise composition rules, particularly for its base Rosso, which requires at least 65% Nero d'Avola and caps yields at 13.0 tons per hectare. For its Novello category, the rules dictate a specific blend of at least 50% Nero d'Avola and 20% Merlot, which is released without aging requirements. Furthermore, any designated Riserva wine requires a minimum of two years of aging, with at least six months spent in wood, starting from November 1st of the harvest year.
