Colli Perugini
Wine · PDO · 7 municipalities
Recognised since 1982, the Colli Perugini DOC spans seven Umbrian municipalities, including Piegaro and Deruta. The denomination's signature red blend relies on at least 50% Sangiovese, yielding a maximum of 12.0 tonnes per hectare to produce a dry, sapid wine with a delicate, vinous aroma. Uniquely, no Riserva designation exists for any wine style within this DOC. Instead, rigid regulations focus on specialties like Vin Santo, which requires grapes to undergo appassimento until at most March 31 of the year following harvest before aging in wooden vessels with a maximum capacity of 350 liters.
