Colli di Salerno
Wine · PGI · 158 municipalities
Recognized since 1999, the Colli di Salerno IGT is defined by an expansive territory of 158 municipalities, ranging from coastal Amalfi to the inland Vallo di Diano. This vast footprint distinguishes the denomination from more localized Campania designations, bridging highly varied, volcanic-influenced soils across the Lattari and Cilento hills. The denomination allows 135 verified producers to harness this geomorphological diversity for unique styles, notably both white and black passito wines that require a minimum of 15% total alcohol. Regulated by the Consorzio di Tutela Vita Salernum Vites, all wines must adhere to a strict maximum yield of 14.0 tonnes per hectare.
