Gabiano

Wine · PDO · 2 municipalities

Recognized since 1996, the Gabiano DOC is a highly restricted red wine appellation in Piedmont, produced exclusively within the two municipalities of Gabiano and Moncestino. Driven by a minimum of 90% Barbera, this single-style denomination stands apart from its regional neighbors through its strict geographic limits: both vinification and mandatory aging must take place entirely within these two communal territories. Furthermore, its optional riserva designation features an unusual regulatory deviation from standard Piedmontese protocols; instead of the typical November 1st start date, the mandatory two-year aging clock for Gabiano Riserva begins on January 1st following the harvest.
