Sebino
Wine · PGI · 20 municipalities
Unlike its sparkling sibling Franciacorta, with which it shares a protection consortium, the Sebino IGT (recognised since 1999) offers a still alternative across 20 Lombardy municipalities, including Adro and Capriolo. The designation permits varietal wines from grapes such as Chardonnay, Carmenere, and Nebbiolo at a minimum of 85%, capping yields at 13.0 tonnes per hectare. Distinct from its dry, straw-yellow base bianco, the rules also define a sweet passito style requiring at least 14.0% alcohol by volume. Despite these defined parameters, official registries currently list zero verified producers for this quiet denomination.
