Spoleto
Wine · PDO · 6 municipalities
Recognised since 2011, the Spoleto DOC distinguishes itself from surrounding Umbrian appellations by championing the native Trebbiano Spoletino grape, which must account for at least 85% of the blend. Cultivated across six specific municipalities, including Trevi and Foligno, this autochthonous vine yields dry whites alongside specialized styles. What sets this denomination apart is the strict regulation of these diverse styles: while standard dry Spoleto requires a minimum alcohol of 11.0% vol, the rare Passito version undergoes appassimento drying that restricts the final liquid yield to just 40% of the harvest, creating an intensely concentrated dessert wine with a minimum of 14.0% developed alcohol.
