Valli Ossolane
Wine · PDO · 17 municipalities
Established in 2011 within Piedmont's northernmost reaches, the Valli Ossolane DOC governs wine production across 17 alpine municipalities in the Verbano-Cusio-Ossola province, including Crevoladossola. This appellation distinguishes itself through a flexible base Rosso blend requiring a minimum of 60% Nebbiolo, Croatina, or Merlot, used either singly or jointly. For varietal wines, the area showcases its distinct local Nebbiolo clone, Prunent. While the basic dry reds must reach at least 11.0% alcohol, the strict Nebbiolo Superiore category mandates a lower yield of 7.0 tonnes per hectare and a precise 13-month aging period, including at least 6 months resting in wood.
