Terre di Cosenza
Wine · PDO · 150 municipalities
Recognised since 2011, the Terre di Cosenza DOC is distinguished from neighboring Calabrian appellations by its massive geographic footprint, spanning 150 municipalities from Acquaformosa to the Sila foothills. This vast territory yields an exceptionally diverse portfolio of over 18 distinct base wine types and seven named subzones—including Pollino and Verbicaro—which operate under their own specific rules. The standard red wine requires a minimum of 60% Magliocco grapes, delivering a dry, harmonious profile. These red wines must reach a minimum alcohol content of 10.5% volume, with grape yields strictly capped at 11.0 tons per hectare across this expansive province.
