Matino
Wine · PDO · 8 municipalities
Recognized since 1973 in Puglia, the Matino DOC encompasses eight municipalities, including Gallipoli and Casarano, yet currently records zero verified producers. This dormant appellation distinguishes itself from its regional neighbors by completely omitting Riserva or Superiore categories; indeed, its strict production rules explicitly forbid the use of terms like "superiore", "scelto", or "extra" on any bottle labels. Standard specifications restrict vineyard yields to 12.0 tonnes per hectare, requiring a minimum of 70% Negro Amaro grapes. The resulting dry, harmonious red wines must reach at least 11.5% alcohol by volume, developing orange reflections as they age.
