Val di Magra
Wine · PGI · 15 municipalities
Established in 1999 within 15 municipalities of northern Tuscany, including Aulla and Carrara, the Val di Magra PGI occupies a specific portion of the Lunigiana sub-area. Unlike neighboring appellations that permit sparkling or sweet styles, this designation strictly excludes frizzante, passito, and novello wines. Production focuses on nine primary grapes, such as Vermentino and Pollera. Distinctively, the regulations allow dual-varietal labeling only if the secondary grape contributes more than 15 percent to the final blend. Furthermore, all types must meet a uniform natural minimum alcohol level of 10.00% vol in the vineyard, emphasizing a standardized ripening baseline across the territory.
