Rosso di Cerignola
Wine · PDO · 4 municipalities
Established in 1976, the Rosso di Cerignola DOC occupies a unique viticultural niche in northern Puglia. What distinguishes this denomination from its neighbours is its high maximum yield cap of 14.0 tonnes per hectare, a direct reflection of the fertile Tavoliere plain terroir surrounding Cerignola and Ascoli Satriano. The production rules mandate a blend dominated by Uva di Troia, which must make up at least 55% of the wine. Although the base wine requires no minimum aging, the optional Riserva version must age for 24 months entirely in wood casks. Today, this historic appellation remains inactive with zero verified producers.
