Val di Neto
Wine · PGI · 21 municipalities
Distinct from broader Calabrian classifications, the Val di Neto PGI, recognized since 1999, is strictly confined to 21 municipalities within the historic Marchesato di Crotone territory, including Santa Severina. This highly localized boundary shapes its production rules. For instance, the regulation mandates that local grapes like Gaglioppo and Pecorello are designated by specific elevation zones. Furthermore, Val di Neto establishes precise variations between styles: the standard rosso requires a minimum alcohol level of 11.5% vol and a maximum yield of 16.0 t/ha, while the bianco style is permitted a higher maximum yield of 18 t/ha and a lower minimum alcohol level of 10.5% vol.
