Loazzolo
Wine · PDO · 1 municipality
In the Piedmont region, the Loazzolo DOC stands out as a highly restricted denomination confined entirely to its namesake municipality of Loazzolo, where all vinification, aging, and bottling must occur. Unlike neighbouring appellations that offer various styles, this sweet, late-harvest wine made from 100% Moscato bianco allows only a single typology. The strict production rules explicitly ban label terms such as 'riserva' or 'superiore'. Instead, the wine's character is shaped by a mandatory 24-month aging period starting on January 1st following the harvest, including at least six months in wood barrels of max 250 liters, yielding a golden wine with minimum 15.5% alcohol.
