Castelfranco Emilia
Wine · PGI · 19 municipalities
Recognised since 1999, the Castelfranco Emilia IGT spans 19 municipalities, including Calderara di Reno and Castelfranco Emilia itself. Unlike neighboring appellations that prize maturation, this designation is distinguished by an explicit rule in its production code: these are strictly non-aging wines (non adatti all'invecchiamento), designed to be consumed within a single year without any riserva or wood-aging minimums. The wines rely on high yields of up to 29.0 tonnes per hectare, showcasing a minimum of 60% Montù grapes or single-varietal expressions of Trebbiano and Moscato bianco. The result is a selection of fresh, delicate white wines with a minimum alcohol content of 9.0% vol.
