San Torpè
Wine · PDO · 16 municipalities
Established in 1981 across sixteen Tuscan municipalities, including Capannoli and Chianni, the San Torpè DOC occupies a unique niche by completely excluding red wines, a notable departure from typical Tuscan appellations. Instead, it focuses exclusively on white and rosé styles, requiring a minimum of fifty percent Trebbiano Toscano for its dry, harmonious Bianco. Its Vin Santo rules are equally specific, demanding that grapes air-dry to a minimum of twenty-six percent sugar before aging in small wooden barrels of 225 liters or less. Despite these production standards, the appellation currently records zero verified producers.
