Parrina
Wine · PDO · 1 municipality
Established in 1973, the Parrina DOC is distinguished by its highly concentrated geographical footprint, restricted entirely to the single Tuscan municipality of Orbetello. This hyper-local focus sets it apart from broader neighboring denominations. Under the production rules, the base Parrina rosso must contain at least 70% Sangiovese. While other authorized red grapes of Tuscany can complete the blend, the disciplinare strictly excludes Aleatico to maintain the wine's dry, harmonious, and velvety character. Yields are capped at 9.0 tonnes per hectare, resulting in a delicate red with a minimum alcohol content of 11.0% volume.
