Bettona
Wine · PGI · 1 municipality
Recognised in 1999, the Bettona IGT is uniquely constrained among Umbrian wine designations, limiting its entire production zone to just one municipality: Bettona. While the specification permits a maximum yield of 18.0 tonnes per hectare and a minimum alcohol level of 10.0% volume, this highly localized appellation currently registers zero verified producers. The rules allow dual-variety labeling if each represents more than 15% of the blend. Using regional grapes like Sangiovese, Grechetto, and Trebbiano, the designation defines distinct profiles, including a bright cherry-pink rosato and a ruby-red that develops spicy notes with aging.
